I do however, think that utilizing 2 different google accounts has created some headaches for me. So, I'm going to combine the 2 over the next few weeks and see if I can make them a little more effective.<br />So, thank you for your views and thoughts - please don't be discouraged if you see some new posts with "dated" material -I'm just trying to make my blog world UNITED!Mr. Jayhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01695586034677059345noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1454967189389487059.post-58323837999349395482007-10-29T17:49:00.000-07:002007-10-29T17:54:51.344-07:00Listening to podcastswell, I have to say -I've been really enjoying so many of the education based podcasts lately. Here's my newest favorite<br /><br /><a href="http://epnweb.org/index.php?request_id=718&openpod=8#anchor8">http://epnweb.org/index.php?request_id=718&openpod=8#anchor8</a><br /><br />It's a great music quiz podcast. Even with 3 degrees in music and just a thesis and 20hrs away from my PhD, I'm amazed at how well I do some weeks and how pathetically sad I do others.<br /><br />Download a few - you won't regret itMr. Jayhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01695586034677059345noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1454967189389487059.post-31311193754807347482007-10-22T13:28:00.000-07:002007-10-22T13:36:02.441-07:00podcasts comingWell, I've been working on editing my audio podcasts - I've got two started, and one just about ready. I'll let you know how to get them as soon as I can get them finished, compressed, and online.<br /><br />The first one is hilarious - K-2 students answering questions about music and composers<br /><br />Q: Who was Beethoven?<br />A: My neighbor has a dog just like Beethoven, I don't have a dog though Mommy said we could get a cat<br /><br />The second one is more about my rant about folk music<br /><br />I will say this - recording a podcast was not as hard as I thought it would be - you should try it! Share your thoughts with the world!!! Get a microphone and get to it. There's also a great tool you can use to edit your recordings - Audacity - <a href="http://audacity.sourceforge.net/">http://audacity.sourceforge.net/</a> It does take some work to learn, but you can do some really wonderful things with it (remember though - export as mp3 don't try to "save as".)Mr. Jayhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01695586034677059345noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1454967189389487059.post-37085815586051068122007-10-12T05:09:00.000-07:002007-10-12T05:12:01.158-07:00wiki timeI've also started a wikispace that's related to folk music and elementary music education.
