Episode description

In this episode of the TeacherCast Podcast, I sit down with one of the founders of the Padcaster, Josh Apter to discuss educational video production and how your school can create an extremely professional video product using the Padcaster.

For the last few months, I have been using the Padcaster not only to upgrade my home studio but to give me a portable solution to record in classrooms and conferences. Simply put, the Padcaster is the perfect solution for any school looking to create morning announcements, live broadcasts, or record athletic events.

This fall, Padcaster will be releasing several new products that I think will continue to revolutionize and simplify video production. One of these is the new Padcaster VERSE, a complete solution to turn your mobile phone into a “mobile media powerhouse”. In today's podcast, Josh shows us how the VERSE is not only a dynamic stand and equipment holder for your phone, it also provides additional battery support so you can be on the road and not worry about losing battery in your device.
