Train-the-Trainer Podcasting: Good to Go!

I've been attending the Classroom Walkthrough Train-the-Trainer, and today we became quite confused about the process of one of the activities we'll be expected to facilitate. I asked our trainer if he wouldn't mind being videotaped on Monday in a "replay" of that activity, and he said he'd be glad to repeat the process while we tape him. To make a long story short, we're going to tape the activity and turn it into a podcast all of our walkthrough trainers can access. Also, since we are attending this training with Dade County staff as well, we will then be able to share our podcast with the Dade walkthrough trainers. So, we're doing "double duty" as we not only use the podcasts to enhance our own delivery expertise, but as we also spread our podcasting vision beyond Broward County!

What direction/connections are you making to your AR question, ”How can iPod technology be applied to the curriculum mapping process when utilized as a vehicle for helping our clients to align classroom literacy activities with state standards across all content areas?”

Nothing yet, because I'm in the process of being trained on curriculum mapping (2 workshops are coming up -- back-to-back in March). When I return from these marathon trainings, I get to create a curriculum mapping training to deliver to the principals at their June retreat. I guess my current research question is more long-term, and it may need to be evolved to accommodate what I am doing with the iPod THIS year.
