Webcast Academy

Greetings.

 

I really feel like the kid whose peers left school two years ago, everything has changed, the computer room is where the bathroom used to be and no code words work any more.

 I'm very interested in the present course, though I'll probably miss all the European-unfriendly meetings after midnight our time since I live in time zone GMT + 2.

I've been a registered member of WA for about two years.

 

I hope to meet up with you somewhere.

In putting my portfolio together I went back and found some shows I liked.

 The first show was week 3 , you can listen here, http://www.webcastacademy.net/files/wow203.mp3 

I like this show because, it was a show where I was in Wells, ME, and Sharon Peters, Vicki Davis and Jen Wagner were all in Atlanta at the Georgia State Conference.

Hi everyone, 

I'm interested and willing to guide a group of summer interns... let's see, would we be 1.5 by now? When would you like to start? When would you like to meet? I'd like to start as soon as possible! 

Set Up - also see Screencasts at bottom of pageFor USB mic:

1) Plug the microphone and headphones in, then launch Nicecast and Skype.
2) In Nicecast's Source drawer, set the first pop-up to Audio Device and then select your microphone for the Input Source. This should be the same device selected in Skype's Audio preferences for Input.
3) Next, open the Effects window, and insert the Application Mixer plugin.

Introduction: 

I learn along with wonderful people at school. Many of them are called students and I am often called a teacher, but I think these definitions are becoming more and more blurred!

Webcasts Interncast#1:  Barbara Ganley Presentation (part 2) & post-show discussion with Kathy & Lisa Webcast Report (Interncast #1):  Kathy Shields and I continued the conversation with Barbara Ganley after the WiAOC2007 Interncast#2:  Webcasy Academy Class of 2.2 Webcast Report (Interncast #2):  Listen to Cheryl, Jose and I discuss audio issues during a recent openhouse.

Teach me to stream and I will do two more hours .... how's that for bribery?

Hello Academy Interns,

   As most of you are probably aware, the Webcast Academy has been pretty dormant for the last few months. Hopefully,  that will change very soon.

Hey all,

I'm at podcamp atl and I will try to stream at 3:15.  Most of the attendees are interested in commercial podcasting but I will push on regardless of the nmber of participants I have in my session, podcasting is elementary. 

So here it is!  It's on my podomatic Common Knowledge site.  I only had some GAETC interviews on there and coincidently I had interviewed the WOW ladies!  A double listen! 

This episode captures the conversation between Vicki Davis and Julie Lindsay
