Podcast #127 - Review of the i-River T-60 Portable MP3 Player/Recorder

Hello. In today's podcast I will review the i-River T-60 portable MP3 player. As long time listeners of the podcast know - I'm a big fan of i-River and their products. I recently purchased a T-60 and it is my 4th i-River MP3 player.

I often recieve e-mails from people asking about what type of MP3 player/recorder I would suggest for school use and the answer is always "i-River". Their players are easy to use, small and have tremendous internal microphones. They are also a great value.

This podcast will focus on my personal experiences with my i-River T-60 Portable MP3 player / recorder. I would encourage any feedback you might have as a comment to this blog post or by e-mailing me at speakingofhistory@gmail.com

Podcast #122 - PBS Media Infusion Blog about "The War"

Hello. I'm sure many of you have seen at least part of the recent PBS documentary series "The War" by Ken Burns and Lynn Novick. It is an amazing example of how the power of story can be used to teach history. Several months ago I was contacted by PBS to be the guest blogger for their "Media Infusion" blog. I wrote a blog entry for the month of November 2007 on using the power of story in teaching with "The War" as a foundation. Please visit the blog and post a comment. I will be answering questions during the month via the comments to the post and I'm very interesting in how other people are using stories and oral histories in their classroom.

Today's podcast gives some personal reflections about saving oral histories and some projects I am working on with my students over the next semester.
