Microphone for iPod video

We, at The Elisabeth Morrow School, are very happy with the MicroMemo from XtremeMac. One of the reason I like it so much is that the small mic can be detached from the adaptor and you can plug in any mic you like. I used headsets to record the audio for digital stories this print and got excellent results. Take a look at their page for the MicroMemo.

You can also check out their their other accessories at XtremeMac.

World Music Podcasts

At The Elisabeth Morrow School, we have lots of multimedia projects. One of our music teachers, Ann Winze, has been doing podcast with her students all year. The fall podcasts (look at the archive) were one of ten schools awarded the JPMorgan Chase Multimedia in the classroom awards in March as part of Channel 13's Celebration of Teaching and Learning Conference. Check out the whole website and enjoy learning about a variety of instruments studied by our students.
The World Music Podcasts require the username elisabethmorrow and he password appleseed.

Google Marker (goes w/customized search)

If your looking into or using Google's Custom Search (See my last post), you have to remember Google Marker. Google Marker gives you an easy way to annotate a web page and add it to an existing Custom Search that you have already created. When you set up a custom search, instead of listing all the websites while setting it up you can type in just one web site, save your search and then use google marker to add all of your additional web sites. It's great!
