They also own an amazing service called Gcast http://www.gcast.com/ A free account there allows you to podcast from your phone. I am using it for my online "Intro to Lit" class here at Western Kentucky University. The quality is not great, but it is clear. More importantly it leaps over the hurdle that is so tough for teachers--time. I've seen it in many an eye during numerous trainings, unspoken but coming through loud and clear, "Who has time for all this tech crap?" The way I do it is write a quick script using sticky notes, one note with one idea. I improvise from within the structure of those notes. Rough, but ready. Effective? Dunno yet, but it is too easy to do to not keep doing it. The next step from this is to automate it as a message to my students' cellphones. Garage Band Rocks! Just a quick note about Garage Band.
