If you are looking for a quick and clear description of some of Skype's main features, I suggest you spend 2 minutes and 17 seconds watching this excellent clip from Say it Visually.
Thanks to Free Technology for Teachers for the heads up. Nice job guys!
For this year's educational visit to Brittany I will be attempting to send voice messages live to my blog from my mobile phone or netbook using iPadio. This morning I chatted with Mark, CEO and founder of the free phlogging tool about the idea and he assured me it should work without a hitch.
This is great news and I look forward to trying to follow in the footsteps of other teachers who have inspired me in recent years with their smooth moblogging experiences and engaging use of technology outside of the classroom. Have a look at the Musselburgh Grammar S2 France trip blog for a great example and in particular the podcasts they made during the visit to see what I mean.
One of the organisers and CDT teacher at the school, Suzanne Watson told me in an email just how easy it was to post while away,
"There was nothing technical about our France blogs. We simply took away with us an ipod and a voice recorder plug in. Each day one pupil would record our events. I did had to convert the sound track to mp3 as it saved as an mp4 file on the ipod but I just used free software I downloaded from the internet.Once I had it as mp3 I simply uploaded each file the same way as I would upload a word file for example. The way its displayed on the website is just the way wordpress displays these types of files. Fortunately each of the hotels we stayed in had wifi so I was able to use my own laptop for the process."
To use iPadio all you have to do is register your mobile phone number on the site, then, ring the London number 02033842843, enter your 4 figure pin, record your message and press the hash key. Job done. If you want to use a different mobile phone, landline or Skype, simply ring the same number, enter your registered number and then proceed as before. Once you hang up, your phlog will be sent automatically to your account as an mp3 file and your RSS feed will be updated so your subscribers can download the latest episode.
Since Vodafone decided to abolish their roaming charges this summer, calling from France should cost the same as in the UK as long as you sign up to their passport scheme. But check the small print!
You can also add a player to your blog if you wish. Unfortunately there isn't a listen again option, so you need to be sure of what you want to stay. However, if you do make a mistake, you can just go to your account and delete the message from there.
For those who may be interested in listening to my future phlogs, here is my home page and RSS feed which I will be updating in a couple of weeks time when we set off. Wish me luck!
Oh, by the way, I'm sorry I coughed at the beginning of my message. I think I must have had a phlog in my throat ;)
Walking through Audioboo from Mark Rock on Vimeo.
AudioBoo is a British designed free iPhone app which allows you to record voice messages of up to 5 minutes and post them online along with an image and your location on a Google Map. 'Boos' as they are known are automatically saved in users' accounts as mp3 files and joined to the same RSS feed meaning they can be subscribed to in iTunes or Google Reader. See this screencast for more information. Individual messages can also be embedded on a blog or website and their links cross-posted to Twitter.
Since its launch in March, AudioBoo has caught the public's imagination due to its ease of use, excellent sound quality and social networking credibility. Some journalists are even suggesting it could be used for reporting local stories quickly and easily.
Conceived & developed by Best Before Media and partly funded by Channel 4's 4iP project, AudioBoo also works on an iPod Touch with a wifi connection and external microphone. However, for those who don't have an iPhone or iPod Touch, but still wish to create short podcasts on the move, the team has created a new service PhoneBoo which can be accessed by ringing a UK number from any mobile phone, landline or Skype. All you need to do is register a number on the website, obtain your access code and you're good to go.
Phonecasting of course is not a new phenomenon and has been possible for quite a while for those wanting to create simple podcasts without the need of a computer. Have a look at this earlier post for a great example and listen to this Wes Fryer podcast comparing different ways of producing digital recordings via cell phone.
Unfortunately for UK based audio mobloggers, platforms such as GCast, Drop.io, GabCast and Utterli present certain drawbacks because they either only support US numbers or require paid for credits to use. The latter is possibly due to the worldwide economic downturn, but is frustrating none the less for teachers wishing to regularly create audio from their mobile phones without costing them a fortune. No such problem with PhoneBoo though.
Early adopter, Neville Hobson admits the audio quality of PhoneBoo is not as good as AudioBoo but this is because the latter saves the file locally before uploading it to the web whereas the former captures the sound remotely which typically produces a poorer outcome due to the limitations of recording on a phone. Listen to Neville talking about this in more detail on his FIR podcast with Shel Holtz.

Other fans of AudioBoo include James Clay, Documentally (Christian Payne) and Drama Girl (Kate Foy). Click here to listen to Kate's recent interview with Spencer Howson on the ABC Breakfast Show in Queensland, Australia about the new tool.
John Johnston has been reflecting on how AudioBoo could be used in education allowing pupils to make short audio recordings as podcasts and have others subscribe to them. To hear more of John's thoughts listen here.
AudioBoo is still very much a work in progress at the moment and has experienced growing pains in the first few months. Once these are ironed out and the infrastructure is established, Mark Rock, CEO of Best Before Media will be encouraging others to develop third party apps to create a range of exciting possibilities for users to share their boos in the future. Bootiful!
Have a look too at iPadio which also lets you create instant podcasts or 'phlogs' via the phone. Here's one about collaquialisms from the Isle of Wight from Mr Caulkhead. Makes for interesting listening!
So if ever language teachers and iPhone owners such as Lisa Stevens, José Picardo, Alex Blagona, Chris Holbrook, Laura Walker or Suzi Bewell ever find themselves disheartened by the state of language learning in this country, my advice to them would be to just start 'booing' and I'm sure they'd feel a whole lot better afterwards :)
As part of her exciting project Around the World in 80 Schools, Silvia Tolisano has posted a short clip of her class videoconferencing in German and English with a class in Argentina. As you can see, she is using the new version of Skype which allows you to view video in full screen mode making it much better for classroom use.
As Silvia explains in her excellent interview for The World A.T. Ways recently, Silvia is a big fan of using Skype in this way to break down the walls of her classroom and to make international links with native speakers. She also adds how she uses a Flip video camera to capture the conversation and allow her class to replay the session as many times as they wish to reinforce what they have learnt.
This is a great example of how Skype can bring language learning to life. Thanks for sharing Silvia!
Have a look too at Seth Dicken's recent experience with using Skype in the second language classroom.
Over the Easter break, I recorded a fascinating discussion with Esther Hardman, teacher of French and Spanish at The Weald of Kent Grammar School in Tonbridge about her creative use of videoconferencing and blogging to support primary colleagues in the west of Kent. As community outreach coordinator for MFL, Esther is responsible for facilitating language learning provision in local primary schools and to ensure that the learning objectives of The KS2 Framework for Languages are met as far as possible. In addition to visiting schools in person, she has found that virtual links have also been a valuable way of sharing information and motivating staff and pupils.
In the interview, Esther explains how colleague Katie Clemmy as part of her ICT hands on support role at the school introduced her to Flashmeeting and suggested she use it within the MFL department. Seeing an opportunity for her post GCSE students to channel their creativity in a purposeful way, she decided to kill two birds with one stone and ask them to prepare lessons for a Yr5/6 class at St Margaret Clitherow Catholic Primary School which they could then deliver in small groups via videoconferencing.
With the help of Richard Shaw and Kerry Schofield (primary languages coordinator) the classes took part in a couple of sessions and proved that with appropriate planning and sufficient practice, this type of activity can achieve impressive results and develop a whole range of transferable skills.
Esther's enthusiasm for using technology to enhance language learning is infectious and I would suggest that anyone who is interested in launching a similar project should heed her wise words carefully.
In the second part of our talk, Esther reveals her passion for blogging and its power for sharing ideas and networking with others. Borne from a personal desire to publish poetry and organise writing workshops, she soon realised the potential of blogging to offer distance learning resources and to be creative.
Crack the Code and The Wonderful World of Esther were set up as a result along with West Kent Primary Languages blog inspired by the work of Andrew Stapley and Huguette Hopkinson from Norton Knatchbull school and their blog NKS Primary Languages.
Her assistante virtuelle blogs are also online, although at the time of writing they are accessible by invite only as Esther and her colleagues are still experimenting on how best to use them.
For a full summary of Esther's wonderful work see below. I'm sure you'll find it inspiring. To quote Esther,
“It gets you out there from your school into the wider community more than you’d be able to do otherwise without it”

Attending Language World organised by The Association for Language Learning at the University of Leicester was very memorable for me this year as it was my first talk for 2009 and I was very much looking forward to meeting up with friends and networking face to face rather than just online for a change.
The conference certainly lived up to my expectations and I attended some fascinating sessions on a variety of topics. Thanks to modern technology and the kind permission of speakers such Lisa Stevens and Alex Blagona, I was able to record everything on my iRiver and therefore not miss out on talks that clashed on the programme.
Moreover, having digital versions of their words of wisdom meant I could send Lisa and Alex the mp3 files so they could then transform their presentations Absorbing Language Learning and Using Wikis in MFL into slidecasts and share them with a much wider audience than those present on the day.
I wish this sort of practice happened more often as the benefits to the MFL community would be considerable. This really should be a no brainer in the 21st century and an opportunity to put into practice the theme of the conference of grasping the nettle.
That said, I was delighted to see a healthy Twitter backchannel going on throughout the conference as well as speakers readily referring to their blogs at the beginning or end of sessions as a means of offering their audience the opportunity for accessing further materials and support.
The new ALL magazine Languages Today also included the article My Top 10 Blogs (written by some ‘star blogger’ from the Isle of Wight) and as you can see below bloggers speaking at the conference were highlighted with a red pin raising their profile further. This was a welcome development and an indication of how blogging is coming of age and moving more into mainstream education.
In my talk I encouraged colleagues to create their own personal learning network by subscribing to blogs, listening to podcasts and using sites such as Del.icio.us and Flickr to keep their continuing professional development up to date. As an attempt to show how much teachers already value these types of social networks, I sent out a request on Twitter before starting my session asking what people's PLNs meant to them. I was touched by the response and very grateful for the wonderful tweets from:

Thank you to The Association for Language Learning for organising such a great conference and for providing so many learning and networking opportunities for ALL our needs. See you next year.
In this clip, Howard Wolinsky interviews Silvia Tolisano, technology integration facilitator at San José Episcopal Day School in Jacksonville FL about her Around the World with 80 Schools Project.
Sylvia who has been using Skype for a few years now in her own school wants to encourage others to participate in a global experiment where classrooms around the world can connect with each other and pupils can explain a little bit about where they live and what life is like in their country in 5 minute conversations. This could mean simply saying hello, learning some foreign words or collecting data for a weather report.
Sylvia finds that using Skype in this way makes learning real for pupils and proves how small the world has become thanks to technology.
Within a week of its launch, nearly 60 schools have signed up for the project already which bodes very well for its success and proves the desire for schools to collaborate with around the world.
To cope with time differences, Sylvia is intending to organise sessions before school and in the evening so that pupils can talk to their international peers in different continents in real time. To call countries such as Australia, New Zealand and China, this may mean having a lockin sleepover party so that as night falls pupils can connect with schools that are waking up across the globe.
If you would like to take part in the project, you can sign up on the Google Form Sylvia has prepared. She is particularly interested in hearing from classrooms from Europe and Africa.
If you are concerned about using Skype in the classroom, I suggest you listen to Dave Solon's podcast interview Skype is a Valuable Educational Tool which should put your fears to rest.

Flying to Galway on Thursday last week was exciting for two main reasons. Firstly, it meant I could return to Ireland for another training opportunity and secondly I would at last be able to give my first proper keynote speech after four years of trying. I'm very grateful to Michelle Tooher the organiser of the Modern Languages Symposium for giving me this chance and for making me feel so welcome at NUI Galway.
Another highlight of the trip was meeting Paul Gormley who interviewed me via Skype back in March 2007 for the Modern Languages Comunity of Practice podcast. I'd like to thank Paul and Michelle too for their support promoting The Isle of Wight Conference on the NDLR blog in recent years.
Speaking in front of university lecturers was somewhat daunting, but my practical, honest approach seemed to go down well and I guess set the tone for the day. The conversation during our 3 course lunch was certainly animated and it was a pleasure to share ideas with like-minded colleagues.
I'd also like to thank all those people on Twitter who replied to my tweet at the start of my talk about personal learning networks (PLNs). Although I ran out of time to share them with delegates on the day, you can see them below in full.
In the afternoon, Paul and I did some hands-on workshops on blogging and podcasting and before leaving I even had a chance to look around the university's recording studio. Very cool.
Staying at The Westwood Hotel was also very memorable what with the luxurious surroundings, fast wifi access and generous breakfasts. Please note the picture below was taken the day before all Irish pork was recalled due to concerns over contamination.
I even had time to fit in the OZ/NZ Flashmeeting on Sunday morning before flying home thanks to the built in webcam on my MSI WInd. Very handy.
Hope you enjoy the keynote as much as I enjoyed my Irish breakfast, not to mention the Guinness or two I had before returning to good old blighty! Sláinte!

Having played around on my new MSI Wind U100 for the last few weeks, I can honestly say that it is the most awesome tool for working on the move I've come across so far. For a start, the keyboard is nearly fullsize and a joy to use, the 6 cell battery gives around 4 hours of battery life and the 3 USB ports mean I can plug in my camera, Logitech microphone and iRiver all at the same time if I want to!
If this wasn't enough, perusing the MSI Wind forum, I've been able to work out how to boost its performance further by having an extra 1GB of RAM added at PC World and by overclocking the processor to enable a 15% increase in 'Turbo Mode' when connected to AC power (Just press FN+F10). 'Eco Mode' when running from the battery also extends operating time too by deliberately reducing power usage. Turning off Bluetooth and wireless connectivity helps as well.
I've thought carefully about what software to install on the machine bearing in mind its primary purpose of audio editing and moblogging and have compiled the following list of free tools:
I've added MS Office 2007 too although I know I could have put on OpenOffice for free, but decided I would take this opportunity to get used to its new interface and re-learn where everything is again! The slim external DVD drive I picked up at PC World will also allow me to watch films and install software from disk if a memory stick is not up to the job.
So far I've hardly dented the 120GB hard disk despite backing up my whole podcast series to date which took up about 2.5GB and came to nearly one hundred recordings!
All in all, I would guess that the MSI Wind U100 or Advent 4211 as it is called in the UK is the fastest, best value for money and versatile ultra mobile PC (UMPC) on the market at the moment and for less than £300 is certainly worth investing in.
For a more detailed description of its capability, have a look at this video or this one. You could even create an RSS search to find similar clips on YouTube and be blown away by the power of the Wind too!
As The Language Show fell over our half term break this year, I was lucky enough to be able to attend for all three days and see lots of great sessions from inspirational speakers such as Chris Fuller, Rachel Hawkes, Carole Nicholl, Helen Myers and Alex Blagona (pictured below).
It also gave me an excuse to test drive my new MSI Wind and check out its potential for moblogging, twittering, editing audio and presenting via a projector. Suffice it to say, the Wind rose to the challenge admirably on all fronts and should prove an indispensable tool for the forseeable future with its four hour battery life and stylish good looks to boot!
I spoke on the Saturday morning and repeated my talk from The SSAT Conference recently New tools, new curriculum, new opportunities with an update from The Isle of Wight Conference 2008. The audio, presentation, summary and links are supplied below. Hope you find it useful and thanks to Lisibo for her shot of me in full flow. Mmm.
