Technology and a Second Grader

In this 2nd podcast, I interview Emily, my daughter, about how she uses technology at home and in school.

Hope you enjoy. I have set up my Podcast subscription so you can look for my podcasts directly in iTunes - The address is:
feed://feeds.feedburner.com/MikeTravis

Whew!!!

Pau (done)!!! I finally got everything working with the help from a friend. The biggest problem was that it was taking a long time for information I uploaded here to be sent to FeedBurner.

For future knowledge, here is how all this works:
Mac People:
1) Use GarageBand to create your PodCast
2) Find a place to host it (I used my travis-family.com account. Free accounts might work, but you must find out the exact URL to the m4a file.
3) Set up a blog at blogger.com. It is free! And, link to your audio file.
4) Go to FeedBurner and set up an account. What FeedBurner does is somehow search out your blog for these audio files and set it up in a format that iTunes can see.
5) Make a few adjustments to your blog so that it can send the information to your FeedBurner account.
6) Once the FeedBurner page is showing your audio file, you are ready.
7) Go to iTunes, Podcast area and submit your PodCast by putting in your FeedBurner URL.
8) Go to iTunes, Podcast and subscribe to your PodCast using the FeedBurner URL.
9) That's it! Now, start creating worthwhile PodCasts for people to subscribe to!!

Whew! This was a long, hard 3 nights of work with lots of failures before I figured out what steps worked best.

Now, it is time to create some PodCasts!! Please feel free to post some ideas for me about Technology, Teaching Technology, Teaching in General, or random ideas you want me to rant about (that one is for you Mike Jr.). :-)

Feedburner is not updating my work.

One More Try

I hope this works.

Still working on podcasting

I have wasted way too much time on this, but, I think, I am getting close. I have gotten help from Mitchell. I really owe him a coffee!

My Picture!

This is my first attempt at a blog.  I thought I would start by introducing myself.  Here is a picture that one of my students drew of me a few years back.  I love it!  I saw her last night and she is graduating from high school.  I am so glad that she is doing so well!  Katelyn, here's to you!
