The innovators in the following recordings explain what they do, why and how you can successfully adopt a similar approach."

"This is the launch page for the pages here at Gizmo's Tech Support Alert that list sites with free ebooks and audiobooks.

There are 3 pages that separate sites on the format of the ebook: Kindle, ePub, and Online reading.

There is a main page for both ebooks and audiobooks that lists all the sites carrying each. There are also pages of genre listings.

The genre pages that do not list an audiobook page, contain free audiobook links.  I am working on this and eventually all the genre pages will have separate free ebook and free audiobook pages.

The sites within the free comic books and free motion comics pages are not included in the main ebook and audiobook pages."

Podcasting simplified? I learned about this tool to make podcast and hosting an easy process. Look forward to trying it out. Easy and hosting are the operative words here. If the process is simple and there is a ready place for hosting your podcast, then that's all you need to make it happen.

G10s Medical Transcription Practice CD with all Keys. Learn MT at home. Free MT software.

Free online suite of high power media tools. They 'look great'. Haven't had a moment to try them out. Quite sophisticated, they may be more than you need. I did view the demo for their Audio Editor and it's slick. You could create simple podcasts with it no problem, but you'd be using just a smidgen of the toolset available.

With the rise of YouTube and podcasting, including audio and/or video in your eLearning is more and more a necessity. It used to be expensive to produce video and audio and required a studio to create. No longer. There are dozens of great, inexpensive tools that you can use to create audio and video for your eLearning. Attend this Online Forum to examine the tools and techniques that will help you use media in your eLearning.

I am sure many of you are already members of the E Learning Guild, but there is a on line forum coming up in July that might be of interest.

"With our need to instantly publish content, aka Web 2.0, the latest phones allow you to directly capture HD video and audio and instantly publish it to YouTube or transfer it to your computer for editing, and then push it to your LMS or Web site."

There are many programs like this one but this is one that I am familar with. It allows teachers to take a screen shot of their computer to share with others. You may also record movements on the computer with audio to create videos for students.

A tool for having conversations around media. Upload pictures and then add comments. I've seen this used for students around the world to post pictures of their homes and then comment on the differences and similarities. Great language tool because comments are written and/or spoken. Great cultural tool because of the addition of media.

voice, visuals and real prescence

I think this could be a useful tool to communicate online. The "Text can't replace you" is what caught my eye.  It offers voice to your writing.

Very easy to use for short audio.  Can be sent by email or attached to a website.

"You don't need to be a professional audio engineer to record narration. However, you do want to pay attention to what you're doing and do the best job possible. Last week, we looked at some basic tips to record high-quality audio. Those tips leaned more on the technology. Today we'll look at what you can do to get the best narration. I also added some tips from last week's comments section."

A resource created to help those who want to create digital stories.

Allows presentation to show whole picture and zoom in rather than slide after slide.

Prezi - looks like an interesting tool to try for presentations. Recommended by my son who used in college.

Takes presentations to a new level.  Particularly suited to complex topics that involve recursive processes.  Would work well as a means of helping my students better understand the writing process and the research process in our class.

Try AudioPal, a free voice software, to record streaming audio or convert text to speech.

The free service looks intriguing enough to try. The paid sitepal service could be something special as well. I've tried this and embedded a simple one minute greeting into my 6-Traits writing class. Works great. However you do need to know a little HTML to make this work. You retrieve an embed code which you paste into the html of a website (or a D2L message, or a Moodle Label) Relatively simple once you understand a little bit of cut and paste coding. You've found another fine resource!

Free podcasting tool. Kids love to listen to themselves!
