Rick Schwier podcast
Posted by: Rob Wall in podcasting, education, technology in educationRick Schwier has claimed that I have converted (or is that corrupted) him into a podcaster. P’shaw - Rick is a natural storyteller and speaker and, therefore, a natural for podcasting. He has started a new podcast
He is using the latest version of GarageBand to put together the podcasts and hosting it in a .Mac account, so the podcasts are in m4a format which, I believe requires iTunes to play, and the subscribe button on his page is for iTunes. Is the Apple-centric product the price for the ease of podcast production in GarageBand?
If you aren’t using iTunes, you might want to consider it just to get Rick’s podcast. Each one is short - 1 to 3 minutes - and does a great job of provoking thought and reflection. Its not quite EDCMM 802 (a class Rick teaches at the U of Saskatchewan in the Educational Communication and Technology program), but its good stuff!
That makes 3 of the posse - Rick, Dean and me (albeit irregularly on my own) - who are independently podcasting. I think its time Alec got into the act (but maybe after the dissertation is finished) and we can start our own EdTech Posse Podcast Network!

I do hope to start onto podcasting, but I haven’t even been able to keep up with my blogging lately. It’s been tough, but I know the sky will clear sometime in July and I hope that life will just get THAT much better. I can always dream.
All the best Rob.

No pressure, Alec. I know you have a busy, busy life. My own blogging has fallen off lately - since about March 14, I think. My podcast production declined long before that. I wonder if this is just part of a general edublogger moment of quiet, with Stephen and Will taking time off as well. And that’s just fine by me - we’ve collectively done a lot in the last 2 or 3 years. Maybe a period of reflection to figure out where we go next is just fine.
