Episode 40–enhanced and fortified with 18 essential vitamins and minerals (oh, and images and links too)
Err…so we’re posting this after episode 40.5, but you know it makes sense in the alternate universe. This podcast is a continuation of our reflection from TCEA 2008. Anna enhanced this podcast with images and links from TCEA–remember that you can also go to Hitchhikr and look up TCEA to see what others have posted.
We don’t have many links, but here’s a couple:
- David Pogue – We heart David! Fantastic presentation at Past Presidents’ Luncheon.
- Marco Torres – Our friend and fellow ADE – did a fabulous job at the closing keynote–I’m still mulling over and sharing his wisdom!
- Cover It Live – live blogging from any event–very, very cool. See our blog for examples of this.
- Who Is Sick – “flumappr” of sorts–see who’s sick and where (based on user input)
And we need your feedback! Call us at 206-350-7814 to let us know about your favorite part of TCEA, what you learned, a memorable moment–whatever you want to share. We’ll include it on an upcoming episode
Notes from TCEA’s Closing Keynote
These are my notes from Marco Torres’ keynote during TCEA. They are what they are, but I think you’ll get the general gist…

Same theme for beginning and end so that there was consistency. Students came up with their own content. Great idea for field trips Mics are relatively inexpensive, as are Olympus recorders |

Movie Soundtrack Students create digital documentaries 2 examples: Documentary on the story of the Indianapolis; used UnitedStreaming clips; first efforts used lots of voice sound effects and may have copyright issues (things to think about) Computer game soundtrack (Waffles Revenge) |

GB has extra jam packs that contain more loops–definitely worth it if you want more to work with–especially World vibe |
|
8:34
|
Pimp Your Ride to get more out of GB M-Audio (audio interfaces and pre-amps, mics, MIDI controllers, etc)–allows for greater degree of control with instruments Apple Jam Packs (more loops) |
