Around the time most of the posts on this blog were made, the activity of collecting useful links was already being made redundant by the improving quality of searches. I'm continuing to web-log over at my main website Feel Do Think. See you around.

On line pod cast tools podomatic and odeo both give free recording, storage and sharing of podcasts. Here and here are a couple of postings on the subject by Eds Up blogger Nick Noakes of Hong Kong.

Last Sunday I was pleased to be invited to speak at a round table discussion about education, podcasting and community radio, that was broadcast by the Irish community radio station Near FM, and webcast on the Web by World Bridges.

The programme, Global Learn Day, is now available as a podcast if anyone's interested in listening to it.

This is me cross posting a request from Charles Kelly on the NETEACH-L listserver asking for beta-testers for the podcast page on the a4esl site. It is supposed to make it easy to subscribe to rss feeds...but I can't see any explanations of the process there.

Our first podcast of the new academic year at Madrid Young Learners. My problem continues to be finding public domain files that I can use on the site, so any help you can give here would be gratefully appreciated.
I'd be interested to hear if you've had any success in setting up Loudblog as it sounds like an interesting idea. English Pod Song is very impressive.

Free hosting space for educational podcasts!

Worldbridges has just announced free hosting space (500mb) for podcasting/webcasting/videoblogging projects that comes with an offer of course management system (Moodle, Wordpress, Drupal) too.

Now is the chance to put in a proposal for a podcasting project for a centre/class/course.

But be quick, because the news is spreading and it's on a first-come-first-served basis (I've already submitted my proposal).

English Pod Song is a new project I've just started. Aimed at upper-intermediate / advanced students, the idea is to produce a weekly podcast featuring new songs and English commentary.

I thought about this after realising how difficult to listen to most 'radioshow-type' podcasts are to listen to, and I'm not sure how it will develop (if at all), but it was an interesting learning experience for me putting it together.

I've also started experimenting with the idea of students being able to leave audio comments that can be integrated into future podcasts. I'm able to do this because of the service that the Loudblog podcast content management system offers.

During the summer, I created two short 'radio programme' type podcasts with students as a project. The first is now available online at Sushi Radio, a podcast not just for EFL students, but listened to by many different people all over the world.

The founders of Sushi Radio were keen to encourage me,and have said they'd be happy to receive similar content from other students from around the world, so if any of you feel like getting involved...

Please contact me if you want more details.

Now this is what you really need for making MP3s.

Does anyone fancy paying 99cents for educational rap "Flocabulary" designed to help hip youth pass the American SAT exams? There are 2 free raps at Sparknotes
Can you feel it D? I can feel it.

Here is another English Language Learning podcast: Fudan University High School Student Podcasting.

The difference between this one and most of the other EFLpodcasts out there is that this one has been produced entirely by students. They were asked to record a 3 minute podcast and then choose a theme that best describes it...

The feed of the Fudan University podcast is: http://podcast.fdfz.cn/podcast.xml

this is a cross posting from the neteach-L Email discussion group: with thanks to Charles on that forum. He makes the point that the ideal TEFL podcast might be 3 to 5 minutes long. have we already linked to his learn a song podcast?

Here are some sites that may be of interest:

The Educational Podcast Network (EBN) is a directory of educational podcasts, aimed at educators. As well as the listing of podcasts, the site hopes to be a source of information about podcasting, explaining what it is and how to get started.

Podutainment (POrtable eDUcational enterTAINMENT) is another directory, this time aimed at actual learners. They are trying to reach a figure of 150 educational podcasters on their site, although the focus seems to be on US education. However, it's an interesting site with a very colourful interface.

The links come courtesy of the Podcast-Education group, which is worth subscribing too. The other podcasting group I belong to is also on Yahoo, Podcasters, is more general, but there is a lot of discussion of what the medium is and what it could be, the technicalities (which microphone to use, etc.), and seem sto be a generous, supportive group.

Of course, we don't have to just blog about podcasting. We can podcast about it too. These are some ideas I had yesterday about podcasting:

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Wed, 18 May 2005 20:36:00 +0200

Podcasting is the Macmillan dictionary's current word of the week ....
And they credit Adam Curry with popularising the term. I used his "soundseeing" tour of Schipol airport in a lesson (with a group of computer programmers) but actually I guess the subject was "pointless but interesting behaviour" rather than airports per se. I set them a lot of mp3s as homework on a kind of "extensive listening" concept. Ideal for coporate clients with a shared drive on their networks. Everyone can access the sound whenever they want.

Sean Ellis's link to the BBC In Pod We Trust article, led me to the linked site by Adam Curry. Well worth a listen; some of the content I've listened to on other podcasting podcasts recently hasn't been that good but this is more like it - the podcasting edition has some interesting content.

Jason Kottke has (about) 50 fun things to do with an Ipod. I can still live without one though...

I'm having problems burning the feed for this site as Feedburner can't validate it for some reason. Firstly there was a problem with the code in the link in John's posting (a missing ';' apparently). Now it doesn't want to recognise it for some other reason so I'm attaching a short audio file here and having another go.

I've taken your lead, Steve, and set up a podcasting site called 'Barcelona Young Learners Podcasts'
(http://bylpodcasts.blogspot.com/).

I haven't created my first podcast yet, but should be able to do it soon. I'd like to encourage the other members of this blog to do the same. In this way, we should be able to start building an interesting array of resources, and learn about the right way to go about podcasting in the process.

Two other questions:
1) Steve, could you set up a podcast-friendly RSS feed for this site too?
2) Could you add the Blogger sidebar feature that shows the list of Members to this blog?

Thanks

According to this article 100,000 people were downloading the "In Our Time" discussions with Melvyn Bragg.

Dear all,

Welcome to the first posting to our new teflpodcasting blog. I hope this will prove a useful forum for developing this idea and we can build up a comprehensive selection of links and attract an active membership. This replaces the Global Village blog that didn't really go anywhere, but then neither did GV in the end. I hope in this case we're barking up the right tree - personally I feel very optimistic, not to mention excited, about the potential of podcasting as a teaching tool and learning resource. I've had good feedback from my students already and the idea of using material from my podcast as authentic listening material with a whole class has worked well. I'm particularly looking forward to developing links to a wide selection of podcasts, both in terms of developing ideas in this area and find useful sources of authentic materials. so over to you all.
