ETSTalk Episode #16
Filed under: Uncategorized. Tags: etstalk, podcast, podcasting.
I just got off the line with Cole, Alan and Brad - the ETS edtech crüe at PSU, where we recorded an episode of ETSTalk. I babbled for a bit about what I do here (and it was likely as clear to them as to me 
), then we talked a bit about innovations and the need to build concrete stepping stones to help people grok new stuff. I mentioned some of the projects I'm working on with faculty and off-campus folks, and we talked about reasons behind blogging (with me narcissistically remembering the story of how I started blogging, because of course everyone is so interested in that. rivetting stuff…)
It was fun talking with the ETS folk, learning how to properly pronounce prah-ject (rather than proh-ject). 'Mercans talk funny, eh?
Cole recorded the session in his office at PSU, in the usual surround sound stereophonic way, and I dialled in via iChat videoconference. He recorded the whole thing using GarageBand, and the "auto ducking" feature seems to have worked perfectly (haven't heard the finished audio yet - I'm guessing the audio turned out OK.)
Anyway, the recording process was pretty flawless. Cole just fired up GarageBand, invited me to a conference in iChat, and Everything Just Worked. I used a headset to prevent recursive feedback, but they didn't have to do anything different on their side. Very cool. I'll have to try that more…

Properly it’s prah-ject meeting, pruh-jected cost overruns, and proh-jectile vomiting…
D, that was too much fun! Thanks again for participating. As I am now looking at the picture you took I am struck by just how amazing it all really is that we can get together like that so easily and have it just work. When we got off with you, we recorded the banter at the beginning and the little silliness after your spot and we were done. Editing consisted of dropping the intro and outro music in their. All in all we were finished in about an hour and fifteen minutes. So easy and fun. Looking forward to doing it again!
“D’Arcy Norman, International Blog Star!”
Yeah… Dave saw the “Rock Star” description. I’ll never hear the end of that. It was a total blast. We have to do this more often….
