The ePlanks Podcast - on a cyberwave near you!
Posted by Jess on May 18, 2008
This is a cross-post with technoLOTE
The ePlanks podcast is up and running! We have 4 episodes all ready to go for your listening pleasure. ePlanks is a project that I (Jess McCulloch) am working on with Anne Mirtschin. We are trying to lay the ePlanks of the virtual classroom and a Web 2.0 school. We’ve been a bit busy lately with my little iPod and it’s voice recorder -which has become my favourite piece of technology lately!
Episode 1 - We talk to Virginia as she begins her journey as a blogger. We ask her what she thinks of the whole Web 2.0 thing. She’s feeling a bit left behind, but that’s ok - never fear, Jess and Anne are here!
Episode 2 - We found Sandy Phillips from the Victorian Department of Education’s Education Channel and so we sat her down and asked her how Global Teacher got started, which is the blogging campus we have set up many of our students and teachers with for their blogs.
Episode 3 - We (myself, Anne and our greatly treasured librarian, Faye) had a little chat amongst ourselves in the car about blogging as we drove back to Hawkesdale from Melbourne. 
We chatted about how we started, some fears and just jumping in and trying it.
Episode 4 - As part of our ePlanks project, Anne and I decided to go and visit Coburg Senior High School, who are not just talking the talk of a 21st century school, but also walking the walk. You will have to listen in for more details of this pretty amazing school.
We are planning many more episodes for ePlanks, so keep an ear open - we are on the cyberwaves!

Now you have my head spinning along with Marg’s. You girls are just right out there in front of the pack, running while some of us are puffing along behind

Hi Heather, Hope you had time to listen to the podcast by Sandy Phillips with her great compliments to you for your involvement. You are way up there beyond us still with your fabulous blogging efforts. We are just lucky that we teach in a classroom and have the chance to apply your skills.

I have listened and really appreciate Sandy’s words and your support for the project. It has been a team effort and I am jubilant that you picked up the ball, ran with it and kicked the goal by creating what will be recognized as a vibrant Web 3.0 community.
