Academic Aesthetic 155
Today’s show shares some more links, for your listening enjoyment.
- The Podcasting wikis that were sent to me were great, but not quite what Ineed for my presentation. I won’t be reinventing the wheel so much as changing the circumference and tread, I think.
- Want to make a quick paper CD case? I see this as an art lesson waiting to happen.
- This story led me to this story. I think it strikes home more for me because I have been stopped by security while taking photos. I lucked out though – the security guard was also an amateur photographer.
- This Wired article has me questioning the parameters of the study they’re discussing.
- Teachers 2.0 is still looking for a few (more) good writers. Care to join us?

Three in one week! Am I back on the ball again? We’ll see.
- The new Teachers 2.0 site is looking for a few good writers – ones willing to post somewhat regularly.
- Still looking for good wikis about podcasting, although suggestions have started to roll in…
- garageflowers suggested this wiki, which is good but not quite what I’m looking for.
- njtechteacher has a large list of podcasting links.
- That list of links includes this podcasting omnibus by Wes Fryer – great, but too much for my presentation.
- Bud the Teacher is taking a break from Twitter. So far, so good.

This episode is a call for help! (No, not THAT call for help …)
As I announced on Pownce, this will be my third consecutive year as a presenter at MICCA. In the past I’ve used wikis as my “handouts,” but I’m not sure I should create a new one from scratch if there’s already a definitive one out there that’s ready for use.
So my question to you is this: What are some of the better podcasting wikis out there, and should I use one of those for my presentation or make my own? I’m leaning away from reinventing the wheel, but I won’t mind building one from the ground up if the wikis that exist don’t meet my needs.
Let me know what you think.

Just audio this time. I have a dentist’s appointment tomorrow and I’m afraid that I will be unable to speak at all afterwards, or at least not well since my face may or may not be numb.
Aaaaaaaaaaaanyway, today’s ‘cast shares three links, all taken from this list of del.icio.us links that include the tag “teachers20.” (The tag was created so that the links could show up automatically in the Teachers2.0 Twitter feed, which is a lot more popular than I am. My creation has usurped me! …. oh well. We also have a Ning site, if you’re into that.)
