Podcasting - What a morning this has been learning how to podcast. To start a podcast we first went to ITunes and looked up free podcasts to listen to. We went to ITUNES U and Podcasts. Some of the ones I will go back and listen to are Grammar Girl and Ted U.
After exploring and listening to some of the Podcasts we then went to Audacity.
To get to Audacity you go to the Start button and then begin. We had some fun playing around and recording our voice and singing into the Audacity. (Audacity it supported by Word and MAc - there are other sites for recording. Free download)
To publish you save it first on Desktop and then to WAVE. Wave will save is as uncompressed, perfect quality. But it takes up lots of space. If you need more space save it on MP3, but you need to download a LAME file to create an MP# file.
To upload and post you need to go to SOUND CLOUD.
Then go to and post in your blog.
How I would use a podcast - first I would use it for books for the class to listen to. I could also use it for a lecture that I wanted the class to listen to at home or for a homework assignment. If I had a guest lecture coming in we could record the person and then post it on the blog for the children to listen to at home. I will have to switch it to Learning Point for my class.
I would also use podcast because we have a buddy class with video cameras. I can see us using podcast to add to the video recordings.
