Digital Voice Recorders

This is something that I am newly into. I just got a grant and purchased an iPod classic, iTalk, lapel mic, speakers, headphones w/mic, flip video, etc., so that I can make podcasts and vidcasts of lectures, assignment descriptions, etc. I can also give these technologies to my students to create mini-podcasts, explanatory videos, etc. I'm really excited about the potential of these devices in my classes.

Smart Phones in Class

This is an interesting article about the use of PDAs and Smart Phones in K-12 classrooms. I especially love the quote from the 14-year-old at the end! So, what do you think? Good idea or bad one? I'm certainly trying to come up with ways to use them in my college classroom...

Ha, ha, ha!

This comic was funny enough to take a break from my vacation and blog it.
