Podcasting

Please listen to this podcast for this week.

After reading Richardson Chapter 8 on podcasting take some time to listen to some podcasts. Do some learning on your own and see if you can produce your very own podcast. It's not hard, basically talking into a microphone, your thoughts, your ideas. If you are using a Mac I recommend GarageBand (Comes free on your mac) if you are on a PC I recommend using Audacity.

You can do a search on youtube.com to find videos that will walk you through both programs. Or search google for text based tutorials. When you have completed your podcast you will have to find a podcasting service to upload them too.

www.archive.org and podomatic.com are two that people have used before.

This week I'm giving you very little guiance on purpose. I want you to go out there and learn how to learn. Can you search and find the information you need? Can you learn a new program? Where are you going to look for help?

Creating a podcast is a three step process:

1. Record the audio file (you choose! Can you be you interviewing someone, or you just talking about something random, or about this class. You could record a lesson you do at school or record students talking.)
2. Upload the audio file (must be in mp3 format) to the web using some sort of podcast or file hosting service
3. Link the audio file to your blog turning an audio file into a podcasat (It only becomes a podcast when you share it with the world!)

Please note that the do date for this is the end of the course....for some this might be a HUGE learning curve. Take your time, learn something new, and do it right. :)

Good Luck here are some good podcasts to get you started. If you use iTunes you can search for more on your own.

At the end of the course we will all come together via Skype and podcast a conversation about this course, what you have learned, and where you plan to go from here. So be thinking about that. It will be in our final weeks of the course. I'll arrange a time that hopefully will work for all. What's better for you?
