    I am a math teacher in India. I am exploring new e strategies for teaching-learning my subject. I have incorporated using Audacity for voice recording and editing and started with podcasting projects with my students. I am interested in learning about integrating video in classrooms.

I would like you to invite you and share your knowldege and expertise in this field. We believe in learning and sharing ideas.
    Thanks

    HI Kathy - I stumbled upon some of your postings related to iPods in the Classroom and I must say I'm very impressed with all your resources and your iPodess website. Thank you so much for putting that out there. I wrote a grant for the iPod Mobile Learning Lab and I'm in the "gathering" phase of collecting materials for the class for next fall. Thanks for the awesome links and resources!

    Kathy - have you ever tested the iTalk Pro? I purchased one to demo and was wondering if you tested and had thoughts on it compared to the Belkin?
