I successfully uploaded my podcamp day 1 video to my Blip.tv space AND tagged it correctly in order to get it included in the Podcamp Boston aggregate, which is cool. Baby steps, folks, baby steps. BUT I am now emailing with “Justin” from Wordpress to help me cross-post onto THIS blog. There are some “problems”…ARGH.

In other news, as I nail down the HOW TO in the next few days, I am recruiting students for the podcast class here. I hate to use the term “class” cuz it really won’t be run in that traditional sense. I simply want students who want to broadcast their stories through media in an effort to connect our own classrooms, with the greater community of the neighborhood, the school system, the city, and even the world.

My students will also join a global discussion forum which will include our school, a school from Japan, and a third school from Yorkshire. I think we can get some cool trans-atlantic projects going! That’s what new media is all about - sharing in and building a collective and collaborative knowledge base with and through multiple forms of communication. And my goal is to get teen voices heard among all the twitter!

Oh here’s my extreme close-up (DORK!) on Steve Garfield’s excellent video blog.
