    I've been making podcasts for many years and, at one point, was one of about 200 podcasters on the planet (back in the day).  Making a podcast using, say, Audacity, never seemed very difficult, but as my carpenter is fond of saying: "It's easy...if you know how to do it."  But since I went MAC this summer, GarageBand has been my great discovery and 14 and 15 year olders have become my new consultants (seriously).  With GB you can not only make podcasts easily, but you can make real, real cool podcasts which sound as good as (sometimes even better) than on-air radio programs.  I just posted my first podcast using GB about a week ago and already I'm chopping at the bit to re-do the production now that I have another week of GB experience under my belt.

education college tomorrow learning hybrid blended CELT

  • The University System of Maryland now requires undergraduates to take 12 credits in alternative learning modes, including online. Texas has proposed a similar rule. The Minnesota State Colleges and Universities system is pushing to have 25 percent of credits earned online by 2015. And the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, pointing to UCF as a model, has made blended learning a cornerstone of its new $20-million education-technology grant program.
  • "No one enforces you to do the right thing" in an online course, Ms. Hatten says. "It's at your discretion. I care about my grade, so if I don't know the answer, I'm not gonna let myself fail when I have an opportunity to look in the book."
  • Blended classes generate the highest student evaluations of any learning mode at Central Florida, and, like her classmates, Ms. Black is a fan. She gets as much from the online work as she would from more time in class, she says. Plus, the free time helps make it easier for her to do dance.

  • If you want to encounter distance education, a student once said, sit in the back of a 500-seat lecture.

    The classroom of the future features face-to-face, online, and hybrid learning. And the future is here.

    Prompted in part by a presentation I have to give tomorrow as an OU eLearning community session (I hope some folks turn up - the 90 minute session on Mashing Up the PLE - RSS edition is the only reason I'm going in…), and in part by Scott Leslie's compelling programme for a similar duration Mashing Up your own PLE session (scene scetting here: Hunting the Wily "PLE"), I started having a tinker with using Google spreadsheets as for data table screenscraping.
