EARCOS Admin Conference 2008: Business Managers
At the EARCOS Admin conference I got to spend over an hour with 26 business managers from the EARCOS region. It was a great conversation and this marks my first enhanced podcast complete with chapters. It was a good discussion that focused on the educational reasons schools need to invest in bandwidth and storage.
A conversation about the Learning 2.008 Conference

Help spread the word about Learning 2.008!
Ken Carol of Praxis Language (and the famous ChinesePod.com) invited me out to their new studio here in Shanghai to record some sound bites for the Learning 2.008 conference. Ken and Praxis Language will help us to record every session of the Learning 2.008 conference this year. (More on my visit with Ken later)
I worked with their sound guy David to create an audio ad that we are releasing here for distribution.
Our hope is that you will take this 19 second clip and embed it in your own educational podcasts, pass it around to friends, e-mail it to teachers in your school, or post it on your own blog/site to help spread the word about the conference. Yes, I had way to much fun recording this and editing it with David.
Please take, use, remix, distribute, and use at will. It is released under a Creative Commons 3.0 License.
As far as I know we’re the first conference to release a mp3 audio ad on the Internet for use in podcasts and other audio media. …and that’s just the beginning of firsts for this years conference. You will not want to miss it!
EARCOS Live!
Over two days I set up shop at a desk in the commons area at the EARCOS Teachers Conference and recorded conversations with anyone who walked by and looked at the crazy guy with headphones and microphones set up. Thank you to everyone who stopped by or who I grabbed to get your prespective on the conference!

Episode #9 – EARCOS Admin Conference – Beyond E-mail: Communicating in the 21st Century
I have the privilege to talk with a bunch of administrators about how communication is changing in the 21st Century. One of the things we discussed was the use of podcasting. We then actually podcasted their thoughts to share with you all. Some great ideas on how to use podcasts as an administrator.
