I'm listening to a podcast on voice. I was looking for how to do voice on line. I've picked up these tips from podcasting-unleashed.com
1. Have passion for your topic
2. Leave them wanting more...
3. The maximum length that someone will listen to a podcast is 7-10 minutes
4. Good stories, well placed, help your talk.
5. Introductions are crucial... you need to capture their attention quickly. Attention spans are short. You can use an enrolling question.
6. Make sure that the quality of your voice is pleasurable to listen to.
7. You are an entertainer... Just get over it...

My Head Spins
I've been a subscriber to the Brandon Hall email newsletter for about a year. Last week they announced that they are discontinuing the newsletter and moving to an online group in Facebook. This gave me an opportunity to check out Facebook. I've joined the UAA network(Alaska Anch) and the Anchorage, AK networks as well as the
Brandon Hall Research Innovations in Learning group. I see some interesting potential in Facebook and the potential of an enormous time sink.
Wandering around today, I came across a project from TechSmith entitled Jing that may be the magic application my coworkers need for creating tutorials. WizIQ appears to be a free-version of an Elluminate-style product. Both intrigue me. Jing is still too early for me to suggest that faculty try it.
My husband bought me the book We are Smarter than Me which is a romp through the ways collaborative networks are changing how we do business.
I tried to get us to use twitter at work, but it failed. Several of the staff are IM'ing with the MSN network. The faculty don't use MSN Networking and will occasionally use IChat. We did not find the value- added of twitter. Maybe if I could have gotten it to work in my ichat client, it would have made more sense.
My paradigm hasn't caught up with all of this yet. Or my curmudgeon is acting up.
