I wanted to share something we have been working on (here in Ottawa) for the last little bit to help make tings easier for teachers interested in podcasting/video sharing in a safe environment. Its called "Netcaster". It is essentially a home grown podcast/video streaming server, where teachers can easily host their content/student produced work in a safe (yet still social!) environment.
Rather than over describe it, here is a (too long, I know...) screencast showing how it works. Feedback appreciated as well as any ideas to improve it. I will eventually clean up the code and publish it somewhere (just working out some additional features for a progress bar showing upload of larger files, and hopefully automatic conversion of video to flash video a la Youtube...)
