I have published the podcast recorded in De Rank on the Radio Sandaig page.

That pretty much wraps up the trip. We had a great time and I think I learned a lot about a whole range of things.

• Recording with my new Logitech® USB Mic straight into Audacity is, as I expected, a lot more efficient than using the iPod. The sound quality seems fine too. I am going to use this more for the regular Radio Sandaig podcasts.
• It is nice to be connected, I blogs from the airport, the two schools and the hotel we stayed in, the iBook really shines for this, I never had to touch a setting except to put in wireless network wep passwords.
• There can be a real connection using Video conferencing. This is the first time I’ve conference with people (my own school) who I know well. Although there was no obvious educational content in the conference, mostly “hello” & “this is what we are doing in De Rank”, it will hopefully help to build links between our schools. I am also aware of the difficulty the Dutch children have in understanding the Sandaig Children’s accents. I will be thinking of how to communicate on a visual rather than verbal level in the future.
• I also really like the muli layered communication that we were trying, blogs, video conference, just posting image galleries and the podcast. I am very optimistic that his will really help with building friendship across the North Sea.
• Comic life, what a wonderful application for Education, children just love it.
