Podcast Sample
A Podcast is a type of digital media consisting of audio and/or video recordings. For our purposes, we'll be conducting our audio recording using Audacity and exporting the recording as a MP3 file. There are many free sites that hosts podcasts similar to YouTube hosting videos for free. We'll be using Podbean to hosts our podcast - http://www.podbean.com.
When you create your Podbean account, we'll use the same naming convention used for your "mybedford" email account . . . firstname, first two letters of last name, and day you were born - example: janicela18.podbean.com. Once your account is created, record your username and password and site address on your password document.
You'll be uploading the MP3 file to Podbean - I'll be giving you specific directions on how to do this. Once your MP3 files has been uploaded, you'll view your "podbean" site in order to grab the "html", embed code, so it can be posted on your blog as you see below. (same process as you have done with Voki and Toondoo)
On your post with your podcast you'll will also be posting a picture collage of your first lady. See the sample below.

Podcast Recording Tips / Audacity
General recording tips
Tone:
When recording you don’t want your voice to be monotone – smiling while
you are talking helps . . . otherwise talk as if you’re having a conversation
with the person sitting next to you.
Volume: Be sure your volume is loud enough. You don’t want to sound like you are
screaming but your audience shouldn’t have to strain to hear you.
Speed: Speak at a normal conversational speed.
Sometimes when people get nervous they tend to talk fast. Pace yourself, take a deep breath and
go.
Speech: Pronounce words correctly and speak clearly. Practice a few times before recording helps
correct errors.
Creating an
outline of what topics you want to cover is helpful in assuring you cover
everything.
Below you'll find a Screencast on how to use Audacity with some general recording tips.
