Faculty Development Podcast #31 - My Last FD Podcast

This is my last podcast as the SCCD Faculty Development Coordinator and I decided to get some help from my friends in the Office of Education / Planning/ & Distance Learning. Each of them recorded a short podcast - in less than an hour - last week and I've used excerpts from them in this final podcast.

This group has been so supportive of me and the Faculty Development Office and I feel so fortunate that I've gotten to work with and learn from them. Carin Weiss and Gracelyn Sales are shown hard at work recording during our podcasting training session. Joe Hauth and David Stephens are enjoying listening to their first podcast efforts in the photo on the right.

In addition to mentioning and thanking lots of people, this podcast also lists three more Web 2.0 resources that I've recently learned about. Links to them are provided below.

Web 2.0 Resources
SightSpeed at http://www.sightspeed.com - a FREE video telephone service that requires a web cam and broadband. I can think of many educational uses for this but here's an example for those of us who are far away from friends and family - http://www.sightspeed.com/videos/users/baby

StumbleUpon at http://www.stumbleupon.com - a FREE application that helps you find other web sites that have been discovered and rated by like-minded people.

Bubbleshare at http://www.bubbleshare.com - a FREE service that lets you to upload images and add up to 30 seconds of audio narration to them. You can add written captions, too. And, you can make them public or allow only your students to see them.

Finally, I've loved my 30 plus years here at Seattle Community College. Best wishes to all of you who do such amazing work with students.
