Today's class was a little of a repeat. I've been taking two series of classes simultaneously. But it did reinforce what I'd learned for podcasting.
This class focused on iTunes and got me into the site. I finally got into iTunes University. It was fun just seeing what was available. There're entire college educations available. It may take me some time, though, to figure out how to negotiate the site.
We also worked to story board our project. I'm part way through a digital story I was working on for the Jordan River Parkway Bike route, so I worked with that. We also worked more with garage band, which seems very popular among elementary teachers! So, choose the podcast option, create a file, and you're ready to go! You know, it's probably good I''m going through this again...I'd forgotten a lot!
A few extra tips for Garage Band:
1. Command Z is the undo button.
2. To select more than one item, hold the shift key down as you select the items.
3. The I in the corner of o the I, you can get into other effects that will apply to your voice tracks (mouse voice, helium, etc.)
4. Audacity is a program for PC that's free and very much like Garage Band.
Sorry readers, I'm really tired tonight. I think I have to sign off with just this short entry.

I admire you for learning new technology. My mind boggles at all the new things.
ReplyDeleteSorry it took so long to get back to you! I'm still learning. I appreciate your comment, though. Sometimes I wonder if all of this will be worth it! It is a steep learning curve. But there are some applications I've been able to use immediately (this blog, for instance). And I see the future is inevitably moving in this direction. Some nights I just grit my teeth, acknowledge that I don't know what I'm doing, and stumble forward!
