From Podcasting to Pilot to Student iPods - Podcast

I finally finished preparing and uploading to the LMSD Podologue a three-episode series of a presentation given in Apple Seminars on October 25, 2006, at the Chester County Intermediate Unit and, again, on December 7, 2006, at the Bucks County Intermediate Unit. The presentation was titled: iPod, uPod, wePod, theyPod: from podcasting to pilot to student iPods and the presenters included Virginia DiMedio, Director of Information Technology for Lower Merion School District (Ardmore, PA), and Mary Kirchner, World Languages Chair at Lower Merion High School, along with me.

The presentation was in three parts which made it easy to split the podcast into three episodes. The
first part of the presentation describes the initial use of podcasting in LMSD as a tool for professional development (me), the second part tells how LMSD got started with student podcasting through a pilot project in the 2005-06 school year (Ginny and me), and the second part tells how LMSD got started with student podcasting through a pilot project in the 2005-06 school year (Mary).
