Thing 18: Creating a Podcast

Since I’ve used garageband before to create podcasts, I wanted to try a different tool. So I recorded using Vocaroo on my mac. I found the recording to be easy – I think the sound quality was ok. Downloading took a minute as it was not clear on the website how to do this – but thanks to Shelley’s quick video tutorials I was able to complete the downloading task. It took me a couple of tries on the recording and I still have a few blunders – but what are you going to do.

Converting the wav file to mp3 using zamzar was so quick and easy. I had use zamzar a few times before and it took 24 hours to get the file back not 5 minutes! What a great improvement. Overall I found this task to be straight forward and easy to complete.

I created a welcome back podcast for the teachers at my school – a technology update. I think I could easily continue these updates throughout the year and post them on our wiki. Sometimes teachers don’t always “read” the technology news so providing them with a quick video or podcast might be a nice alternative. Well I give it a go and see what happens.

I had trouble getting onto gcast so here is my podcast.
