This chapter talked mostly about podcasting, which I've always been a little curious to know why people like so much. I'm not a big talk radio guy and I learn better with visual. So I haven't personally ventured into podcasting myself, but I'm seeing how it could be something that would empower my students. I'd like to try podcasting with my students because I think it would be valuable for them to learn how to edit audio, but also maybe open up a new way of blogging. I have some students that just aren't good with the keyboard and maybe doing a podcast would be a good alternative.
The chapter also talked about screencasting, which I am familiar with. I've made several Jings and have I've used Screen-o-matic as well. I like screencasts for explaining technical navigation. It's easy to post a link or share it by email with my staff and students.
Videocasting to Youtube is one of those barriers I haven't been able to break with administration. Although, they can be protected from outsiders with privacy controls. This is something I'd also like to look into more. I'm interested in creating some for Track & Field because I think it would be a great way to critique form. Students would get a kick out of watching themselves on video. I have had students film some movies and use Movie Maker (which works really well) for creating some persuasive commercials. Students learned how to create a storyboard and then filmed a short persuasive commercial that they learned how to edit using Movie Maker. Some students went out and started making their own comedies on YouTube that they shared with their classmates. It was a good opportunity about keeping things private and being careful about what they put online. Some of the students did some embarrassing things and they were a little shocked that what they did isn't completely private in a sense.
Streaming seems like another powerful way to publish. I'm not sure how students would use it, but I think they could do a school news broadcast. Maybe instead of morning announcements ove the pa they could do a ustream broadcast?
