Okay, maybe it’s just the kid in me but I totally want to make these with or without teaching it to my students. Maybe it’s because I like making simple puppets, or perhaps it’s because I like combining photos with other things. Perhaps it’s because I just like playing with toys. You know what? I …

Academic Aesthetic 157
In this podcast I’m looking for a few good podcasters. I’ll be presenting a session at MICCA called “Podcasting Tips and Tricks.” As I’ve done before (*cough* Edublogging 101 *cough*), I’ve created a wiki rather than print out a bunch of dead tree copies. I think I have it fleshed out enough for a 45 …

I’ve been inspired! More on the inspiration later, but first two things: Yesterday on a whim (since it has nothing to do with my usual ed/tech/art ramblings) I posted a blog entry that included 20 things about myself … but one of them was a lie. I invited readers to guess which one is false, …
19 Facts, 1 Lie
This was inspired partially by Steve Dembo’s little trivia post, but mostly by famed webcartoonist & adventurer Ryan Estrada. Granted, Mr. Estrada’s are much more fanciful, but I still like my list. See if you can guess which one is false! And yes, I know some of these do make me sound a bit full …

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 …

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 …

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 …

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 …
Academic Aesthetic 151: Old New Media
This is my first podcast recorded MOSTLY using Apple’s Photo Booth, a program that can record still pictures or video. It was never actually intended for podcast creation, as I found out the hard way. As much as I loved playing with the software, half the clips I recorded had no audio whatsoever. This phenomenon …
Totally Self Referential
Because it was something I’ve wanted to do for a while, and because, against all odds, it was still available, I am now the proud owner of AaronBSmith.com. Don’t bother going there yet, for two reasons: It takes a while (sometimes a day or two, although I have seen it work in a couple hours…) …
