STP Episode #3

by Tim Wilson on June 29th, 2005

Carlyn and I attended an Apple-sponsored podcasting event last night with my friend Craig Nansen from North Dakota. Perfectly timed with the release of iTunes 4.9, Barnaby Wasson from Arizone State U. presented for about 30 minutes about the educational uses for podcasting and provided a good primer for those in the audience who were still learning the basics. We also got a tour of the new iTunes from an engineer who works on the iTunes development team. We were all quite surprised at the tournout as Apple had to conduct two back to back sessions to accommodate the crowd who showed up at 9:00 p.m. for the session.

After the session ended I got together with Carlyn, Craig, and a bunch of teachers from Grand Forks, ND for a chat about what we’d just seen. (I didn’t just pick them out of a crowd. I met most of these folks a couple weeks ago at the TNT Conference in Grand Forks.) If nothing else, this podcast illustrates another way that podcasts could be used in schools. Teachers could create an initial podcast and students could be encouraged to podcast their reactions to it. Have a listen.

    Hey Tim… Good seeing you last night. I have a question about your RSS feed. I am trying to subscribe to it using NetNewsWire and am not having any luck… It works fine in Safari, but for some reason when I tried to add it to NetNewsWire, it didn’t work. Also have you submitted your podcast feed to Apple yet?

    Tim, I’ve seen some problems too. I realized that I didn’t have the permissions correct on the MP3 files and so WordPress wasn’t generating an enclosure tag. It’s fixed now, but I’m not sure if NetNewsWire is automatically locating the feed properly. Let me know if things are working better now.
