Many of you have seen me demonstrate the amazing application with which you can record a podcast from any phone and have it posted directly to a web site without having to touch a computer.
To do this, you first need a Blogger account. (Blogger is a cheap, easy way to publish your own classroom blog or web page. Just make sure your district doesn’t block it if you intend to use it at school.) Then you need to set up an AudioBlogger account. The whole thing is FREE (except that the number you need to call to post is a toll call)!
This is a really powerful, yet simple, technology. What I like about it is that anyone can do it — all you have to do is dial a phone number and talk. No creating a web page, no FTP’ing files, no HTML.
This is a great way for teachers to get information about homework assignments and class activities home to parents. Just call on your way home from school. It’s also a good way to have students post oral responses to questions or prompts.
