This has been niggling me for a while now, but at last I have some answers thanks to the brilliant Twitter community coming to my rescue.
Despite attending an event where I was shown how to create an enhanced podcast and watching Di Dawson's moletv video on it, I still couldn't get the podcast from Garageband into the podcast section of iTunes. I can understand why (podcasts need an rss feed), but I think my tutors have skipped a few vital steps and the missing links have puzzled me for months!
Basically, I thought that using Garageband to create an enhanced 'podcast' would mean that I could do it all offline - without getting RSS involved. Unfortunately, the file just won't play as an enhanced podcast on my iPhone - I only get the audio channel. The mystery of how to get pictures playing as well has remained a mystery until today (when I should have been working on another project, but that's life for you...)
See my other blog post http://lsmacblog.blogspot.com/2010/03/feeling-podcastically-stupid.html
And here's the answer: http://is.gd/b2keO
Thanks very much to @mrmackenzie and @damoward for their help!

Converting m4a to mp3
Have discovered an easy way to convert m4a to mp3. I already have dwhelper installed on Firefox on the Mac, so after making a voice memo on the iphone, I email it to a blog account that will host it (I used Posterous.com in this case) and used dwhelper to download it as an mp3. Great stuff!

Some interesting Web 2.0 tools, Flips and PSPs
I've gathered some PDAs together 'oop north' and have learned quite a few interesting things from them which I am just going to drop into this blog post:
1. @juecov has shown me http://www.memiary.com/ which is also available as an iPhone app. Seems to me this might make a good mini-reflective blog if used on projects. We've often suggested that Twitter could be used like this, but memiary can keep things private and the fact that it prompts you to think of 5 things is a nice way to encourage reflective practice.
2. @GraemeBoxwell has given us a whirl on prezi.com, blabberize.com (create great talking heads), dipity.com (create timelines with your imported media) and xtranormal.com (create a movie with characters simply by adding text). And for a laugh, talkingpets.org
We've looked at recording videos with the PSP and @juecov has changed her order of Flip cameras to PSPs instead as a result of seeing them today. Watching me struggle with the buttons didn't put her off! I had to call up the manual to remind myself how to play back a video we had recorded. I guess I just don't use one often enough.
The two other PDAs are making a start at recording their case studies using a dictaphone and Flip camera, but will then use Prezi or Voicethread to present the case study. The advantage of using Voicethread for this is that the PDAs can continue to reflect on their progress and encourage their staff to add to it as well, even after the case study has been posted up to the online learning space.
