Academic Aesthetic Podcast 86
Steve, this is all your fault. Back when I was interviewing Steve Dembo he mentioned that they had finally come out with a microphone for the video iPod. I thought I could just file that information away, but no. Instead, knowledge of the Belkin TuneTalk Stereo nagged at me for over a week. On Friday …
Academic Aesthetic Podcast 85
In today’s podcast I review eyespot, a web based video editor. Sometimes I plan a podcast topic for days before I record it, other times I throw out that hard work in favor of an idea that strikes me at the last minute. Take yesterday, for example… A member of last year’s Art Club has …
Mini Lesson 7: Origami Water Bomb
I love origami, so whenever I need an idea for one of my mini lesson videos I tend to lean towards that first. Lucky for me I know a lot of designs that are public domain! I tried something new with this episode. Instead of using iMovie I tried out eyespot.com. It’s not as feature …
Mini Lesson 6: Artist Trading Cards
I’ve had Artist Trading Cards, or ATCs, on the brain for a while now. Is it any wonder that I would do a Mini Lesson on them? This is one of two lessons that I recorded at the DEN North East Regional Institute. It has nothing to do with the DEN other than that.
Open Source Classroom

Academic Aesthetic Podcast 84
In this podcast I talk about being famous for fifteen people. In addition to silkscreened soup cans and pop culture icons, Andy Warhol gave us the quote “Everyone will be famous for fifteen minutes.” This statement has often been rehashed as people earned their own 15 minutes of fame (American Idol rejects, anyone?), but nowadays …
Academic Aesthetic Podcast 83
In this episode I touch on the highlights of the DEN National Leadership Conference. It’s been over 72 hours since the National Leadership Conference ended, but I’ve still brought a lot of the event home with me. Most noticeable are the aches and pains from being more active than I’m used to, but also a …
America Revealed: A Foreign Perspective
At the DEN National Leadership Conference my team made an awesome video with the help of Josh Wolff from Discovery Educator Abroad. Don’t forget to watch the outtakes at the end. They were too funny to not add. (It’s not that I’m self-centered, it’s just that I screwed up more than anyone else so I’m …
Why Podcast?
While at the DEN National Leadership Conference I was interviewed by some first time podcasters. They did a great job, so I thought I’d share the show with you. Want to hear more DEN members getting their feet wet with podcasting? Check out the conference’s Gcast page.
