Progress at Lalor LLC phlogged to the world

In response to our plea to try out the very simple phone blogging tool, ipadio, Assunta has produced a wonderful progress report on her and Carmela's e-project.

We've embedded it here to inspire you to have a go:



Thanks very much for participating with enthusiasm and dedication so far, Assunta and Carmela. We look forward to hearing and seeing your presie online or in our June showcase (more on that later...)

How to phone blog with iPadio - Listen to the recording of the webinar

#1) Live session / workshop - a North West Cafe webinar.

One of the simplest ways to get people talking on the web: we're running a session introducing newcomers to iPadio (phone blogging). Because people have such complicated lives, we're running it twice. And we're offering this out to the other regions, so we need to have your RSVP.

A hands-on tutorial in making a phone blog using ipadio. For people with absolutely no experience in this wonderfully easy podcasting tool. For e-leaders in the current e-mentors program plus anyone else with curiosity and a sense of adventure. People with experience are welcome to attend too. We hope to have some time to discuss your thoughts on the applications of this tool for teaching and learning.

This was held on Tuesday 21 February. If you would like to hear the recording, click the following link to view a list of our webinars, then select the webinar dated 21 February 2012:

There might be an opportunity in a few months for a Phone blogging How-to webinar Part 2 - on customising the podcast details, embedding the podcast and registering for your own account/ channel.

[If you're still having trouble getting in to Blackboard Collaborate, pleeeease contact Jill, Ann or myself for some problem-solving assistance.]

Stay tuned, because this is the first of a whole series of online professional development for e-learning practitioners across the regions. This means sessions delivered not only by Jill, Ann & Michael in the North-West, but also many more amazing e-learning people right around Victoria.

Phone blog your progress here via our iPadio phonecast channel

Below is a phone blog posted by Jill to our North West e-Mentors ipadio channel. Phone blogging is very easy to do - once you're feeling confident with the technology you could even create a channel for your students to use.

Please consider joining us here with your first phone blog.



Our iPadio channel is open for business: using ipadio you can call a special number (from anywhere in Australia it's 1800-802569) from either your landline or mobile and follow the prompts to provide the registered phone number and PIN.

(iPadio will detect that you're not calling from the registered phone - don't worry about that, just enter the registered number and PIN.)

You then say what you want to us to hear, that's right, no-one will interrupt you! When you're finished, just hang up.

Here are the details:

1. Call 1800-802-569
2. When prompted, enter the registered phone number: 613-9347 2739 and press #
3. Enter PIN: XXXX (ask us in person)
4. TALK and then hang up.

So we look forward to hearing your phlogs about your e-learning adventures. And we will also embed the phlogs here for your colleagues in the North west to share.

Here is Panayota from CNLC talking about how her teaching has benefited from having access to the internet and a data projector in the ESL classroom this year. Good on you for going first, Panayota! (She's using the CNLC ipadio channel).
