Podcast+Meeting

The podcast meeting is an opportunity for learners to meet in a synchronous on-line environment. We will be using Microsoft Live Meeting because this is the synchronous meeting tool that is available at my school and it is free for guests to download and join meetings that I host.
 * Learners must complete the pre-survey and download all required programs one or two days prior to the synchronous meeting.
 * The instructor will guide learners through step four of this course. Learners are encouraged to preview these materials prior to the synchronous meeting.
 * A second meeting is schedule to occur seven days later. Learners will create their own podcast and a lesson they would use with a classroom of elementary, secondary, or university level students. Learners will share the materials they have created, insights they have gained about the process of making a podcast, and ideas regarding how they foresee integrating podcasting into their curriculum.
