Creating my first ever PodCast was a fun and exciting process due to the simplicity of creating one. Very straight forward process but there are many features that can be included. Video and audio can be embedded in the clip which is great.
For students this could be used to re-engage them in classroom tasks. For example a teacher could create a small PodCast that asks students various key questions on a specific topic. It could also be used to record interviews within the classroom that can then be uploaded onto the Internet. Creating a PodCast could also be incorporated into assessment tasks instead of a speech. The possibilities for this software are almost endless in the classroom. Great tool!!
Hey Nick,
ReplyDeleteGreat job on your podcast! Just a question though, did it take a long time for the microphone to connect when going to record this? Because I have tried a few times and it says connecting and never changes? I’m thinking it might be my computer.
Hi Keeleigh,
ReplyDeleteThanks, it is a little strange knowing that your voice will be out in the world wide web though. I had the same problem as you and it would not connect. Very frustrating as I'm sure your aware of. I ended up recording it using my Iphone and importing it as a voice memo.
If your computer has a web cam or microphone record a clip using its software and then upload it using podcast.
Hope this helps!
Nick
