Glenn Ellis - "Preparing our Children for Success in the Knowledge Age"
Our school community was fortunate enough to have Glenn Ellis speak to us last night on the topics of girls' education and STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Math).
We recorded audio and synced up the audio with his slides over at Slideshare. The "Slidecast" is embedded below:

Senior Leadership Seminar
Below is the recording and slide deck from a presentation that my colleague, Mary Jean Conlon, and I facilitated as part of our "Senior/Class of 2009 Leadership Seminar" series here at Castilleja. During the presentation we showed the students "A Vision of Students Today," we had them setup and populate an RSS reader, gave the students a tour of Google Books/News, and spent a small amount of time talking about digital identity. I really enjoyed working with Mary Jean in preparing for this seminar and in the delivery...she is a real pro and I'll miss her next year as she moves on to the field of healthcare IT.

French Vocab Slidecast
This is a little slidecast that I made along with our French teacher this past fall. I had kind of given up on slideshare as a tool for vocabulary mastery and review because the audio would easily become out of sync with the slides when pausing and skipping about in the slidecast. However, after revisiting my slideshare account today, I can see that the good folks over at slideshare must have put a fix in place. The audio is fully in sync with the slides and the user may zip back and forth, pause, and replay the slidecast without losing audio/slide sync.
I think it might be time to revisit using slideshare as a platform for these types of learning opportunities within foreign language classes, especially given that many of our teachers use a Mac-only program called "iFlash" to do these types of things. I really like the notion of using HTML tools like slideshare so that these learning materials can be available across various operating systems (and students aren't required to purchase a pesky client application as well). And, to take it a step further, when publishing to slideshare these resources become available to an even broader learning community.
Finally, placing materials like this online as HTML at a space like slidecast gives learners 24/7 access to these learning opportunities. No longer do they have to wait to go to the language lab to practice their listening and speaking skills...using an audio slidecast like this one, they can work through these materials as often as they'd like and in a time and space that works for them.
