Our free blog publishing platform for educators, Classcaster, has a handy - or handsfree, depending on how you roll with your phone - new feature. You can simply call a number and speak into your phone to create an audio file and post it directly your Classcaster blog.
If you've configured your blog as a podcast on iTunes, this means you could create a podcast without even turning on your computer. Here's an overview of how it works:
- Call a specific phone number using any phone.
- Speak into phone.
- Hang up.
- It will record what it just heard on the call and automagically post it to your Classcaster blog as an audio file.
Here are more detailed intsructions for how to use the new Classcaster phone to blog feature.
We imagine professors might use it to easily record and post supplemental audio material for their students or even to record an entire in-class lecture. But use it however you like, and let us know how you do.
