Editing

Posted July 3, 2008 By Digital Sextant

Podcast available below the break.

Introduction to iTunes U

Posted June 15, 2008 By Digital Sextant

For Writing and Rhetoric 2: Online This podcast introduces students to iTunes U and to the general practice of podcasting for our class.  Nothing too fancy here. I’m putting it below the jump so it won’t download everytime someone looks at my homepage.  Enjoy.
