WSI-OTEN Showcase
Audiodynamism was asked to present the project in a 20 minute slot at Kingswood campus - I feared the worst - a numb bum and face from smiling insincerely for the rest of the three hours. Wrong! All the presenters had interesting things to say/show/do and the range of engagement with learning technologies was impressive. Hopefully there'll be some cross-pollination of projects. With the end of the year bearing down upon us, the usual avalanche of work may get in the way of collaboration on FUN things for teaching and learning....bah humbug?
Audio from the showcase will be uploaded to Podomatic soon (as soon as I find the USB cable)!

Audio is a great tool for enhancing things we already do! And an mp3 file is superior to an audio cassette - for those who can access the technology. Language learning, and even literacy, will benefit from teachers being able to make and send personal audio messages to students. I have a feeling blogging, wikis etc are not so much of a young people's thing (especially disengaged young people).
But the really great thing about audio, I believe, is the ability to syndicate the files. Being able to listen to an audio file when you are ready and keen is just fantastic. mp3 players are so portable! And that's without even starting to talk about video podcasting and the possibilities for learning through videos ...
We have used audio to back up messages on the learner support site, to podcast from our learnscope blog, add voice to photostories and have added skype to our repertoires.
