PodCapture Podcasting with Novak's

What a blast today was, our first attempt at podcasting! The kids are pretty composed and respectable, but the teachers? Novak and I intruded and screamed like 5 year olds in front of the camera, and there are no apologies for that. 

Using PodCapture (Applications folder, Utilities folder has PodCapture), and getting Michael Williams, ITS, to set up our system, we got all the kids usernames entered so they'd have access. The kids make a podcast, "publish" it, and an email with the link is sent to the teacher's email boxes to preview it and laugh like we're watching the most popular UTube video, "Charlie Bit Me". Today was day one, working on logging in and mechanics of podcasting. The lesson and standards happen Thursday. Can't wait for more fun.
