I am Macon McGinley

Hello. My name is Macon McGinley and I am an assistant professor of mass communication and the faculty adviser to GCSU’s student newspaper, The Colonnade. My project involves using the iPod as an audio recording device during interviews. These audio files can them be uploaded to The Colonnade website where viewers can access the files to hear the complete interviews. Basically, the project will enhance the newspaper website while introducing students to just another way of gathering and dispersing information to the mass audience.

Assessment

We'll be posting some materials to get us going on our assessment projects here. Once the resources appear, we ask you to post your initial thoughts.

Welcome!

Welcome to the first iPod faculty learning community. Your mentors, Hank Edmondson, Charlie Martin, Brian Mumma, Deborah Vess, Rob Viau, and Noland White look forward to working with you on an individual basis and also in our large group meetings. We have posted some resources for you in the links. We'll be distributing some useful materials via our FLC podcasting channel, and you'll find the link here for you on the blog home page. Your mentors will also be providing some general resources as we work together. You've all been subscribed to the campus e-mail lists for iDreamers and iPod leaders, and we hope you find the discussions there useful.

Our first meeting will be held on Monday, June 12th, at 3:15 in Beeson Hall 115. Take a few moments to introduce yourself on the blog, describe your project, and ask any questions you might have. What do you hope that our learning community will achieve?
