Podcast

Below is my first attempt at creating a podcast for my class blog. I was really amazed at how easy it was to create this podcast.
I am so excited to use this technology in my classroom. I will update you guys on how I use this in my classroom beyond me just recording tutorials on math and science topics.
My main concern right now is that since I only teach science and math, I often need to show the what I am talking about. For example, this podcast is on simplifying fractions and I think that kids might get lost when listening to it. I would really like to be able to write/type/show them what I am talking about. At this point I have learned that our school has a handheld whiteboard (Qomo Wireless Tablet) that I would like to see if I can use to create an audio & visual explanation for Math. I am hoping to use this whiteboard technology joined with the program Jing (a free program that can be downloaded, which is what Dave used to explain podcasting). If I am able to figure all of this out, I will upload an example.
If I can get this together, I would mostly be able to use the same tutorials each year, which would save lots of time.
