Slide2Learn Ustream Session
Thursday, July 1, 2010 at 10:25AM I had the opportunity to present "Creating Podcasts and Narrated Slideshows in Your Hand" to educators attending the Slide2Learn Mobile Learning Event in Shepparton, Victoria, Australia. I was 8,000 miles away in Phoenix, so I spoke to the conference-goers through Ustream. Check out the 45 minute recording.
Description: Pod touch and iPad and their vast library of apps make it possible for teachers and students to create compelling audio and video podcasts. Learn how educators and learners can plan, record, edit, and publish audio podcasts without the need for a desktop or laptop computer. Furthermore, explore the possibilities when multiple apps can be used to create narrated slideshows where students can interact with content and show their learning in a multi-sensory way. The slideshows they create can be shared on the web and viewed on other devices. Learning is in hand when you create and share media on an iPod touch or iPad!
The recording starts with a few technical issues, but we get past them. While watching, see if you can spot my cat Dewey. Just like in past broadcasts, he loves to try to be a part of of the show.

Dear Tony,
Thanks from the Slide2Learn team for a wonderful presentation...the buzz was amazing after you talked and lots of people were playing with the apps that you suggested. We could definitely tell you were smiling throughout the presentation because there was passion in your voice and the clarity of your presentation was so clear from our end. It was a pleasure to have you and it showed that virtual presentations can be just as powerful.
