I'm changing my site, I now support RSS Feeds, just click on the RSS link to the right, and you can subscribe to my site!

This link, feed://homepage.mac.com/hall/Greg_Hall_Fast_Facts.xml has my Dec Fast Facts as a Podcast!  Just COPY the link, open iTunes, and under the Advanced menu, select "Subscribe to Podcast" and paste it in.  I show up in iTunes Podcast, and I can then automatically update these in the future!

This site is "Everything Podcasting", and is created and maintained by Apple SEs.  It's hosted on XServers at Harvard.  This PDF is on how to create a Podcast, and this one on how to host a Podcast on your own server. 
Apple even has an Educational iPod Podcast site! :-)

Here's a great site for Video Podcasting in a school: http://www.dearbornschools.org/videocast/. This article has iPods in the classroom. This one is for the Education Podcast Network and I think it's a great example of what educators are doing with our technology. It's organized by grade, subject and even has a section on "The what, why, and how of 21st century teaching & learning".  Need Podcasting in a Classroom environment? Check out this French Class.

The tool that I am showcasing this month is Podcast Maker. Check here if you need directions on hosting a Podcast.  Another site with many links to tools (for PCs). 

This is the site for Stanford's iTunes Music store.  This site has a copyright decision map

Here is a link for free Podcast story books, a link to an adventure story, "Pirate Jack", audio books that are part of the Project Guttenberg Public Domain, read by 'Humans' or Computer.



Need a video to play on your iPod?  Here's a video created using iMovie for a 9th grade French Class.  (Yes, it has Llamas in it :-)

This is a link to the notes on my Fast Facts meetings.  This one covered QuickTime Broadcasting and creating chapter bookmarks in a Podcast.


Here are some links to great iLife training and classroom materials.  (These links were provided by an Apple Trainer. so you have to know these are well thought out :-)

Macintosh Manager:
John DeTroye has the ""UnOfficial" Official MacManager site at
http:homepage.mac.com/johnd If you haven't been there, you need to download all his pdf files and read them. Lots of excellent information on setting up MacManager.

The folks at MacMgr.com have a great site too. You can SEARCH all of the list servers email lists.

Adding tons of new users to these servers? Then you need to use PASSENGER to import all your users into your AppleShare 6.x and OS X server.

Keep your software up-to-date:
Versiontracker

Corey Carson from Apple has a
great site, and if you need info on all the new products, just check out his site. (Why duplicate perfectly good info? :-)

Looking for an Internet Browser that doesn't take a G5 and a Gig of Ram to run? Check out
iCab. It even runs on older systems (like 68020 and higher), and "only" needs 4 Megs of Ram.

QuickTime Example Sites:

BYU QT site (What is QuickTime?) Also some great samples of QuickTime in Education.
George Cook is Apple's CE dedicated to Interactive QuickTime. Of course, his site is a little different :-)
