Recording Podcasts in the Classroom?

What device would you recommend for recording a lecture from an instructor in a classroom? I am imagining a small device that the instructor would attach to his/her belt and have a small mic attach to his/her shirt. I am interested in a) excellent quality and b) making this as simple as possible for the instructors to use.
Thanks for any info.

Record videos to use on "Skype in the classroom"

Skype in the classroom, officially launched at the end of March 2011, is a free global community to help teachers collaborate on classroom projects and share skills and inspiration around specific teaching needs. It also offers an immediate way to help students discover new cultures, languages and ideas, all without leaving the classroom. So far, more than 9,000 teachers have registered their classrooms in this free, online database.
This new Skype community is a great and powerful teaching tool. Teachers can go online to register for free and add in their contact details, also find where their school is located and what their interests are. It makes teachers to collaborate on classroom projects where they might use Skype, and share skills and inspiration around specific teaching needs. Students can discover new cultures, languages and ideas without leaving the classroom. So, the learning will be more interesting and memorable. Students from any countries can also discuss images of their favorite foods, maps of their country's geography, and information on what kind of weather they have, even comparing school uniforms. It’s really exciting when Skype's videoconferencing technology was used. For example, one little American girl asked the Chilean students if they had to wear uniforms. To answer, a fifth grader popped in front of the camera and proudly showed off her "jumper with colored ties". It’s indeed a great way to get kids to learn more about the world they live in and interact with other kids. If you want to enroll your classroom in “Skype in the classroom”, visit Skype Education website.
Then, teachers on Skype in the classroom should definitely consider using a Skype video recorder to record or capture video and audio like Camersoft Skype Video Recorder to record the video calls so that the experience can be shared with other children. Especially, the ability to record the entire exchange in a single file – the video and audio of all participants in a side-by-side format – would make it very easy to share these cultural exchanges.
The resource section of Skype in the classroom is stacked with videos, links and tips. With recorder program, teachers can smoothly and easily add resources of their own or favorite the ones they like best to create a huge, shareable library of teaching ideas. This Skype video recorder can record video and audio, and then save it as AVI files. More powerful, teachers can convert AVI files to many other formats you want to play with any media devices and merge many single files into one to share with students conveniently on Skype in the classroom.

Thanks!

How can we use a canned intro or background music when our technology is basic. We record the podcast over the phone.

Where I work currently has a podcast posted on our website. I want to add a canned intro or background music and improve the sound quality before submitting our podcast to itunes. The person who creates our podcast says it isn't possible because there's no way to hook up a tape recorder or other device with a prerecorded message to the phone. Does anyone have any suggestions?

You would record it over the phone first, then add any music. You don't want to record music over a phone line. Ideally you need a simple multi-track editor: there must be lots of suitable software around for Windows but I don't use Windows so I can't advise on that.

What is the best way to record a podcast when the host lives far away.

I want to produce a podcast but the host/star lives 3000 miles away. He will be answering questions from people by phone. Any suggestions as to how to record it from my own desktop and control the content?

Obviously you will need a device which record from the phone line, and the feed that into a mixer which also takes in the local microphones. I can't advise on specifics, only that you should experiment with test recordings until you get a satisfactory balance - it's liable to be tricky. Use headphones for everyone - don't let the microphones pick up the telephone call.

Recording sounds on the fly

Can anyone tell me if you can record sounds on the fly?
By that I mean during my voice recording and not in post production.
Our podcast is a live event. We do no editing or postproduction. Currently I use a PC to play sounds and feed them through the mixer into the line in on my iMac. I was hoping that GB3 podcast recording would allow me to just double click a file and have it added to my mix. I can't seem to figure out how to do this.
Most podcasters I know do zero post production. I can't understand why Apple wouldn't provide this feature.
Thanks,
Bry

Seems like we both have the same problem! I figured out how to assign an mp3 to a track then drag it to the "Musical Typing Keyboard" See this thread for details:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=1512131��
You can also see my thread too, I appear to be asking for the same thing but dragging in each audio track seems way too complicated. I just want to play my audio clips from iTunes (from a little tempary playlist) during my show aka Daily Source Code. Let's figure this ***** out!

Downloading podcasts in the background causes iTunes to become unresponsive

This problem with iTunes downloading podcasts in the background is causing me fits in my well-behaved, rock-solid iMac environment.
Inevitably, while iTunes is automatically downloading one of my subscribed podcasts, iTunes will become unresponsive and freeze. This requires me to Force Quit iTunes, causing file system errors that need to be repaired with Disk Utility. The file system errors usually consist of these:
"Missing thread record"
"Incorrect number of thread records"
"Invalid volume file count"
"Missing directory record ID"
Luckily, Disk Utility can recover the damage without me losing any data. But it chaffs me to no end that I have to shut down my iMac, reboot with my SL DVD, dig up my wireless Mighty Mouse (since the SL DVD doesn't load drivers for my Magic Trackpad), repair my boot disk, reboot, then endure several minutes of "Checking the iTunes library" when I start up iTunes again. Not including the significant time it takes for me to re-establish my working environment.
The reason why I know it's a podcast that's causing the problem is that as soon as iTunes starts up, the podcast resumes downloading. I've never had iTunes freeze on me while downloading a podcast while I had iTunes in focus. This problem only occurs when iTunes is downloading a podcast in the background. I've checked the log, and the only messages I'm getting is from Automator saying that some actions are not compatible with my current version of iTunes.
This problem occurs with iTunes 10.0.1, but I've had it happen with iTunes 9.x . My iTunes library is on a Netgear ReadyNAS NV+, accessed by my iMac via 802.11n on my Airport Extreme.
Is anyone else experiencing freezes or beachballs when downloading podcasts? I'm about ready to shut off auto-download and just do it manually (in fact, I'm surprised that I haven't done this already ).

iTunes froze again while an podcast was being downloaded (in the Dock, the iTunes icon says "Force Quit"). I waited 10 minutes for iTunes to become responsive again, but it didn't. I tried Cmd-tab to the iTunes window, but it wouldn't come up. I was ready to Force Quit and repair my HD again, when I decided to try one more thing.
I used Expose to show all the open windows, then picked the frozen iTunes window. Doing this showed the window (why Cmd-tab wouldn't, I don't know), where it listed the partially downloaded podcast in the activity bar. I then went to get my SL DVD. When I got back, iTunes was unfrozen and the podcast download had completed!
I have no idea why the podcast wouldn't download while iTunes was hidden, and why Cmd-tab wouldn't restore the iTunes session to activity. But now I know that Expose can wake iTunes from the dead, preventing me from killing iTunes with the inevitable HD corruption.

Can I use older versions of unactivated iPhones in the classroom as "clickers" to use with Socrative online?

I'm curious about using unactivated iPhones in the classroom. If I can get about 20 parents to donate older version of iPhones can I use them to record video or take pictures and then plug them into the computer to download the content captured? I also want to know if there is some way to use the wifi feature in the classroom to connect to the internet and use the unactivated devices as a classroom tool for students to enter answers to questions posted in Socrative online.
As I typed that all out I realized that most likely I can not use an iPhone to access wifi and a page online but perhaps I could still use them as handheld cameras to capture moments in the classroom and download the pictures once attached to the usb cord.
Any adviace about getting unactivated iPhones in use at school would be very helpful. Thanks in advance.
**I teach middle school Science and want to be more individualized within the content we teach. This would help.. so would 15 iPads with service. If I could only win the lottery I'd be unlimited with what we could do in the classroom. Thanks again.

yeah, you can use deactivated iphones as cameras. when you plug them into the computer, the OS will ask what you want to do with the photos on the device. you will import them and they'll be editable files on the computer after that

Echo in headphones recording podcast through Skype/GarageBand

I've been following instructions for using garageband to record podcasts via Skype. I connect with the other person on Skype and then use Soundflower and Linein to shift the audio to Garageband and garageband records it fine.
The problem I am having is that I hear my own voice in my headphones as a very annoying echo. Is there a way to get rid of this? I am guessing that there is a way for me to set this up so that only the other person's voice comes back at me through my headphones, but I can't figure out how?
Thanks for the help.

I pretty much followed these instructions, although I had to modify slightly to get it to actually work on my computer.

Is there a way of connecting the ipad to the smart board in the classroom, so that the smartboard is the control, and the ipad is displaying what is on the smartboard? This is to help a visually impaired child see what is on the smartboard.,

Is there a way of connecting the ipad to the smart board in the classroom, so that the smartboard is the control, and the ipad is displaying what is on the smartboard? This is to help a visually impaired child see what is on the smartboard.

Absolutely!
Install Splashtop2 on the PC and enable it to be controlled or ran from iPad or Reflection to simply allow iPad to serve as PC unwired monitor. With Splashtop and an Apple TV connected, you use the smartboard as usual, yet the PC and iPad can see the same content. The impaired child can even interact with the Smart Board via the iPad as if he were writing directly on the big screen. Erasing functions can be done by touching the Smart Board manual controls. Several variables are in play that cause this lack of functionality:
    Apple won't permit PC software that infringes its proprietary apps.
    Smart Board companies refuse to develop iPad apps because they feel threatened and are being replaced by iPads
    School districts think Apple TV is meant for copyright infringement and could expose them to safe harbor lawsuits
    Network administrators make it impossible to login Apple TVs because they don't want the streaming occurring
    Classrooms are not able to keep up with the technology of using the iPad
    Clicker companies refuse to play with iPad because they see it as a potential threat to their core business clients
    Apple is not working as hard as it could to exploit its capabilities in education, thus losing money in iPad sales
The bottom line is that we educators and technology developers are hurting our childern with petty conflicts.

Using iTunes and the iPad in the classroom

One of the schools that I support in our school district recently purchased two iPads. We need to establish iTunes accounts that do not have a payment method associated with them. We have setup the devices and are looking forward to downloading FREE apps from the iTunes store. We have attempted to create our Apple ID in two different manners:
1. Go directly to iTunes on the iPad and select a free app. Click download. Prompted to setup an account. Was not presented with the "none" option for payment.
2. Went directly into the iPad settings to "iTunes and App Store." Again, no "none" option for payment.
Our department does not have access to a credit card nor a gift card due to funding. I would appreciate any help that the iTunes department can provide to me about how to properly setup these iPads so that our students can utilize them in the classroom.
Regards,
Matt

Greetings fcit@!A,
After reviewing your post, it sounds like you are not able to select none as your payment type. I would recommend that you read this article, it may be able to help the issue.
Why can’t I select None when I edit my Apple ID payment information? - Apple Support
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
Take care,
Mario

Have you read for possible solutions over in the "More Like This" thread over here?----------------------->

What accessories are needed to connect my Apple TV to my LCD projector (VGA connectors) in the classroom so that I can mirror my iPad for around the class teaching?

I have been wanting to project my iPad to my class and the only way I have found is to use the connector. However, I would like to remove myself from in front of the classroom and move around the classroom. This encourages students to take notes and not pass notes. This also encourages them to engage in questioning of the lesson, because the teacher is not far removed from them if they're in the back of the classroom. How can I connect? I've read some forums that discuss converters and many who say it needs to be active or powered, but some of these powered converters are nearly two times the amount of the Apple TV. I wouldn't mind paying if this is the suggested way and it works. I don't want to go through several failed and expensive experiments.

There are hardware converters that will convert HDMI to various other types of output, however there are some issues with doing so that you should be aware of.
HDCP
HDCP compliant converters will not allow you to watch HDCP protected content such as that from the iTunes Store. Non compliant converters exist but we cannot discuss them under the Terms of Use for these communities.
Resolution and aspect ratio
I'm not aware of any converters that will scale the output from the Apple TV, any TV or projector which is used will need to be widescreen and support resolutions of 720p (if you are using the Apple TV 2)

I am trying to connect my ipad version of garage band to my mac book pro so as to record directly from the ipad as a midi instrument but with no success. Can you help?

I am trying to connect my ipad to my mac book pro. I want to use the ipad as a software instrument (playing from garage band) and to record in garage band on the mac book. I have plugged the ipad in, turned on the ipad and opened up garage band but the mac book pro has not picked it up. Why? Any suggestions.

Maybe it should, I'm all PC here so I can't actually test it myself. As far as I can recall all the stuff I've read has GarageBand for iOS acting as the recording instrument in the MIDI relationship rather than an input device for something else.
Could be worth posting to GarageBand for iOS Feedback and suggesting it as a feature.

Okay, are you currently on a computer with iTunes installed?
Customer [5:01 p.m.]:
yes
Advisor [5:02 p.m.]:
Unfortunately, audiobooks and ringtones are the only items on the iTunes store unavailable for re-download through iTunes in the Cloud. What I can go ahead and do is try and re-add these audiobooks back to your download queue for re-download. Please note if they have been removed or modified on the iTunes store they may not be available for re-download. Would this be okay?

yes thank you!

Customer [5:08 p.m.]:
the other advisor did not down load the new testament books. The advisor did not restore all of the books that I had originally brought.
Advisor [5:10 p.m.]:
While looking closer, the books that you are missing are no longer available to be re-downloaded. This is the reason why they were not added back to your download queue when he issued them. Unfortunately, as we do not handle the content on the iTunes store you will need to get in contact with the publisher of the content as they were the ones two remove or modify these books on the iTunes store. If you would like I can provide a link to their support site.
Customer [5:11 p.m.]:
yes they are I saw them.
Advisor [5:11 p.m.]:
They may have been modified by the content owner. This will be the reason why they were not added. As Apple does not control 3rd party content on the iTunes store. You will need to get in contact with them as we are unable to re-add this content back to your download queue.
Customer [5:12 p.m.]:
it is I just looked at it in the itunes store
Customer [5:13 p.m.]:
the material is still the same. The store does have it.
Advisor [5:13 p.m.]:
Machelle, if the items have been modified since you bought them, they will be unavailable for us to issue them back to you. You will need to get in contact with the providers for these books as they are the content owners and we do not have access to issue these back to you.
Customer [5:14 p.m.]:
the are still the same bible books that I purchased at the store.
Customer [5:14 p.m.]:
The audio books are the same. When I buy it again nothing will be different.

Machelle, I understand this. This is what our records are showing. When the previous advisor tried to re-issue them to you they were unable to as they have been modified on the iTunes store.
Advisor [5:15 p.m.]:
In order to receive further support for this issue you will need to get in contact with Media Group as they are the content providers for these audiobooks.
Customer [5:15 p.m.]:
I will buy them from another source. Don't say they have changed. The books are the same books I brought. They are at the store.
Advisor [5:16 p.m.]:
Machelle, Apple does not handle the content for 3rd party publishers on the iTune

You can use whatever tool you prefer - for someone already using emacs, emacs is a natural choice. Simple, easy to use online tools exist e.g. http://schneegans.de/sv/
Just upload the file in question ('Validate by file upload' option) and click 'Validate':
