TftF 106: Auto Tune Our History
Mp3 Link
Martin Luther King Sings on YouTube - MLK's I have a dream speech turned into a song using a little editing and autotune. (via zefrank & buzzfeed) I am not totally sure how educational this is, but I think anything that turns an important historical moment into a media snack is an idea worth discussing.
This podcast is more of a test for tommorrow's podcast interview with the cmdln! Feel free to check out the video stream on Ustream.tv. I didn't get the youtube video to work during the recording, but they worked fine afterward while broadcasting (which I should have seen coming).

Repurposing our Tech Junk Due to a personal computer melt down in my own home I have been thinking a lot about how to make old computers salvageable for educational purposes. I read Making due with Compujunk - http://blog.makezine.com/archive/2009/03/making_do_with_compujunk.html and I decided to experiment wit Ubuntu www.ubuntu.com on my old Dell machine to see how schools could use open source and old hardware to put computers in the hands of students.

TftF 98: Topics On Fire: Episode 5, Education and New Media
I was invited to take part of a round table discussion on Leslie Poston's podcast, Topics on Fire. Leslie moderated a really fun conversation about education and new media, social media and technology with myself, John Herman and E. Christopher Clark. The conversation centered around teaching philosophy, obsticles, and how technology plays into our own personal teaching practice.
I think I gained a lot of insight and I had a great time talking with Leslie, John, and Chris. We recorded the podcast live on Talkshoe which I really liked because we were able to have a live audience who could "call in" or type into a chat window.

TftF 94: YouTube in the Classroom (pt. 4) Suggested Viewing
For the last few episodes we have been discussing YouTube in theory, almost at a distance. I have even read some comments on blogs like 7 Inch Cinema saying that I'm being a little abstract. To fix this, today we are going to be looking at some YouTube videos for kids.
I will admit that YouTube was definitely not designed for kids and teachers. I know that YouTube filters content, but often I find that I'm too young for the videos. Despite all that, today we're going to get a little deeper and we're going to be looking at a few specific videos. In this episode we go over some recommended videos.
Before we get into that I continue the Better Know A Listener series with an interview with Aaron "The Art Guy" Smith. Aaron is the edu-blogger/podcaster behind on of my favorite sights, The Academic Aesthetic.com. If you are interested in technology education and/or art education you can find interesting information and web tools from Aaron.
Though this is the end of our current series about YouTube, we will continue to compile a list of recommended videos. If you have a favorite YouTube video for kids and teens, leave a link to the video and your site so that I can give you credit.
