Podcasting from Florence
|
I am speaking at the Macomb Summer Academy, and just finished the keynote. After the address, a young woman came up and told me an amazing story, which I podcast. So you will be able to hear it in her words.
But I just can’t wait to share. This teacher traveled to Florence this summer to visit the grave of her grandfather, who was killed there during World War II. Her mother had never seen her father’s grave and is in poor health. The teacher talked with the man who manages the graveyard, and learned about the conditions there during the war, and the battles that killed so many young men. The teacher, with her iPod and iTalk, recorded the conversation, and then, from the boat (which had WiFi) on her way back to the city, she uploaded the file to the Internet, because she wanted her mother to hear it right right away. An amazing story that you should look out for on Connect Learning. |

Looking forward to the story. I really think that podcasting is so new that the really great applications haven’t even been thought of yet.
