I wanted to share with everyone that WVIZ and I have set the dates for summer workshops for 2009 and we have some really cool new offerings for people who are podcasters!!

I will be posting dates later this week, but alot of people have been asking for the video for Ipod class and that will be run once in June and at least one other time during the summer.

The Podcasting Academy will run once in July and once in August. If you are looking to really get into the nuts and bolts of podcasting, audio editing, and educational discussions on using this technology in the classroom, then this course is for you. You can even pick up a credit hour for your efforts toward certifications through Ashland Univ.

A new offering will come at the end of the summer. I have starting working with a new tool for podcasting that is really nice to use. The H4n is a handy 4 track recorder that fits in the palm of your hand. I did a quick review of this new tool in the blog soon after I purchased it. I have been working with Eric Siler at WVIZ to create a class that would allow people to gain access to this technology and allow improved recording quality at the touch of a button in the classroom or whereever.

We have choosen to offer a class with the H4n’s little brother, the H2. This unit offers most of the features of the H4n in a more classroom friendly package. The microphones for the unit are encased inside the case and not exposed as the H4n’s are. Check out the vidoe on the link to learn more!

Details and dates to be published later this week. Look forward to seeing you this summer in a workshop.
