Podcasting, iPadio, and the Metropolitan Museum of Art

Today I had the privilege of chaperoning a trip to the Metropolitan Museum of Art with two other faculty members and 22 students. I have not been to the Met in almost 25 years, sad to say. For me it was a very moving experience. I plan to go back very soon with some of my own children.

While at the museum I took part in a conference call. The conference call involved a discussion around using cell phones in the classroom in general, and specifically about how ipadio can assist with that practice. Besides myself, the other people taking part in the conference call that was broadcast live via ipadio, were Giles Bryan and Mark Smith from ipadio (profile link here), and Benjamin Wilkoff, an Online Learning and Technology Resource Specialist with the Douglas County Schools in Colorado ( profile link here). It was an invigorating conversation as we talked about how to use ipadio in education. I spoke about how some of the teachers at my school have used ipadio in our world language classes to capture students speaking in the target language. For me ipadio is Podcasting made simple. As I said before in one of my posts, with ipadio, if you can talk you can Podcast. You can listen to today's conversation below.
