Feb 2007 PAETC done

I just finished processing all of the files for the podcast and screencast of the Philadelphia Area Educational Technology Conference held on Feb 22 and 23 at Drexel this year. I've gone back to a standard audio podcast with the screencast in streaming Flash format. The quality is so much better than the much larger (vodcast) m4v files generated by Camtasia 4, especially for slides with lots of small text.

We had some good discussions during my workshop on the afternoon of Feb 22 on the use of blogs and wikis in education. Here is the wiki I used as an outline and to add notes.

More comments from my co-organizer Laura on day1 and day2.
