The Welcome Back Podcast
Welcome to bobCast #20 This is the Welcome back podcast for Friday August 25, 2006.
The first Duty Day for Fall semester 2006 was at the Omni Auditorium on North Campus. There were a lot of tables setup and people were presenting the things they were doing at the college. This was done last year and it seems that it was an even bigger success this year.
Of course, Instructional technology was there and we had several tables set up showing the things we are doing to incorporate technology into the classrooms of Broward Community College.
Sharon Rifkin and company had a table showing off their E- Learning Group program.
Included in their demo was WebCt lite and the new WebCt version 6.
Mary Diaz was promoting The Mentor&Mentee Project. This is a project where faculty work with faculty to complete a project allowing them to bring one of the technologies into their classroom.
We had the bobCast booth setup and we had several people stop by to say hello. I attempted to record all these folks but I was unable to get my equipment to work so I am going to do the best I can to remember what they had to say.
The first to drop by was the lovely Kate LeGrand.
Kate was followed by Terri Hayes.
We had a visit from Neil Linger
Pam Kull stopped by.
A member of the South Campus OST Faculty .... Husan Abbasi
Several others stooped by but we too shy to say anything on the record.

bobCast #19 A Mid-Summer Night's bobCast
To listen to the bobcast click here!
In this bobCast, I talk about setting up of two roundtable podcasts, and introduce the newest podcast in town known as the "ToddCast".
The ToddCast
This podcast is produced and presented by Dr. Todd Westerfeld of the Student Affairs Department on Broward Community College's South Campus. Todd covers events that come under area of Students Affairs which includes some of the workshops to help improve student performance. The ToddCast can be accessed at http:www.broward.edu/~twesterf/podcasts . Check out this podcast and drop us an email and let us know what you think of the new show or even the old show for that matter. You can reach me at rbuford@broward.edu and Todd at twestf@broward.edu .
Roundtable Discussions
The Broward County Library approached me a few weeks back about creating a podcast on a couple of events they were having at the South Campus. The first of these was Roundtable discussion on Terrorism and the second was Roundtable on Fatherhood in different cultures. The first event was to be held in the "Mass-media Room" of the Library and the second was to be held in what we refer to as the "South Campus Theater" also known as the Teaching Auditorium by some of the old timers at the campus.
I learned several things about location recording from working on these programs. One was do not assume that your recording equipment will interface with the house systems without a good deal of trial and error, and one has to check out the scene and the equipment in person to make sure that things will go as planned. You might think that any old idiot would know such things, but I soon discovered that I was somehow a special type of idiot when I found myself running around trying to get things to work at the last minute.
At any rate, things did work out and the events were posted to the web at there own website. You can link to the podcasts at http:www.broward.edu/~rbuford/podcasts/roundtables . This was the first podcast to be posted to our new podcast webserver which was funded by a grant from SPD this past year. I would like to thank the folks in the Information Technology Department for their help and support in getting us up and running. We will be gearing up for several workshops this next year on how to create your own audio podcast and/or video podcast and upload it to the new server.
