To help me get started on my technology journey, I've been referring to and relying a lot on Will Richardson's book, Blogs, Wikis, Podcasts and Other Powerful Web Tools for Classrooms. It's been a great resource, but I've been using the second edition (2009) instead of the third edition (2010). That's probably why some of the links and recommendations haven't been working out for me (although most of them have!). For example, in his book, he recommends using OurMedia.org to access free, unlimited bandwidth. I needed a provider, like this, so that I could make my podcasts available on my blog. But after uploading my podcasts and retrieving links for each one via email, I still couldn't get them up on my blog. End result: I spent too much time trying to make it work! So, I moved onto Box, recommended by Blogger, and had my podcasts uploaded in 20 minutes. Yay! I, too, recommend Box!
***One caveat: I couldn't upload the iMovie I made because I didn't have enough storage. So, the free account doesn't give you unlimited bandwidth, but at least it worked!***
