Episode 51 — PodcasterCon 2006
January 12th, 2006
There isn’t much more to say about PodcasterCon. Review my blog or just go to podcastercon2006. They wanted to follow an unconference style, getting away from the teacher delivering instruction and the attendees passively listening. So I structured my session around six essential questions that had been contributed to the session wiki page by attendees, and by members of the podcast_education mailing list.
I started by asking for volunteers who had the capability to record audio, and asked each of them to host one of the essential questions. Then I asked the people sitting around them to join together and to talk about their question, generating three bullet idea points around the question. Each group had ten minutes for their discussions. The audio files for the discussions will be available through the session wiki site soon.
After this small discussions were over, we joined together again, and discussed each item, adding, subtracting and remixing the ideas. A volunteer took notes on the session wiki, so all of the content is available there.
The audio of this podcast is the entirety of the large group discussion. Please visit the session wiki to check on posting of the individual group files and please add your own insights to the

Hello David,
The Room 208 Students responded to one of the comments during your presentation. I’ve put it on my BIT BY BIT PODCAST:

This is a great podcast! Keep asking us educators the hard questions! We need to continue to move along the continuum! I just listened to the Room 208 students responding on Bob’s Bit by Bit. Great stuff.

Thanks for sharing this David! My three takeaways from your session are that kids need more opportunities to assess their own learning (like they tend to do with classroom podcasts), more podcasters should become intentional oral history archivists, and podcasting is powerful because it is global content publishing.

Thanks for providing this summarize podcast! It will surely help me to justify my doing this (and spending for this) in my school to my administrators and peers. I will surely make ref. to it in my podcasting in education web site:

Dear Mr. Warlick,
I want to say “Thank you” for this Episode of this Podcast. I’m from germay and follow up your connect learning frequently. Your session as the part of PodCon06 is so good presented that I had the imagination having been there.
As one who is also working with audio files i can imagine that this took several hour or nights!
But every second is worthful.
And for all who had the possibility to joint this session or are interested in the subject: Carry On -because I think podcasting in school has a lot of potential and educational value now and in future times.

What a wonderful resource. I thought I knew about podcasting but after hearing the dialog presented, it has really opened my eyes…and ears…to so many other possibilities. I really like the idea of creating a movie trailer for a play to entice future classes. The ideas about oral history and even giving students the option of coming up with their own topic is great.
This was very helpful in understanding the process as well as what barriers I might run into. The session work page was also a very helpful resource. What a unique idea…to do a podcast on how to podcast and include the audience in some cooperative learning activities!

This was a very informational podcast for me, and I was completely sold. I wasn’t quiet sure about its possibilities and effectiveness in the classroom setting, but after listening to this conference podcast most of my questions and concerns have been answered.
Thank you so much for sharing this with us!
