Edublogs Tutorials

I’ve just come across InnerTOOB and initial thoughts are that it fills a niche in the podcasting market for schools - free, of course

Like a blog, there’s the chance to add text to support the audio file , but there’s also the opportunity to reply to sections. This is done by adding markers to the podcast or toobcast, (as I now think of them) where a text box then becomes available.

The only bit I need to check is if the comments can be moderated - if not, this could lead to all sorts of issues - I’ll keep you posted - not found a way of doing this yet - but you can disable comments and have it read-only

Here’s podcast 3a as a link

It would appear their embedded player doesn’t embed here - nor in the side bar widgets

I have annotated the podcast - turning it into an enhanced podcast - it’s just waiting for you to add your comments, or just have a read. I’ve added links and commentaries to break up the content, but you can also add audio and video - but you have to record and host it elsewhere.

HOSTING - innerTOOB do not host your files - you will need to get them online elsewhere - there are lots of places to do this www.divshare.com is just one. All innerTOOB requires is the link for your file and then you can play with it.  This is p[roving to be a bit of a problem as I can’t seem to get innerToob to recognise any new files I try to add

I did find that I couldn’t manage to set up my own TOOB - a channel to collect all my recordings in, so at the moment, it’s just the one podcast. Still, it is a bit of fun and different.

At the moment, I’m in conversation with Daniel Nelson from Intrascopic Media who run the site to find out exactly how to use this in conjunction with Edublogs - I’ll let you know the outcomes
