Podcast

For my podcast, I used a newspaper article. You can find the article here.  For my lead in and lead out music, I used music found on incompetech.com by Kevin MacLeod.  I found my sound effect on the website A1 Free Sound Effects. 

This being my first time working with Audacity and creating a podcast, I spent quite a bit of time working with Audacity to get my music and sound effect lined up with my audio.  I also spent quite a bit of time looking for my article. I wanted to find one that I was interested in.  After finding my article, I spent some time writing my script.  I recorded myself twice and was happy with my second recording.  I had a hard time moving the music to where I wanted it, but once I figured out how to move it, it did not take me long to adjust the fade in and fade outs and finish the podcast. 

As a future teacher, this project helped me learn how to create a simple podcast.  Since I know the basics, as a teacher I can create more podcasts and maybe even a video podcast to help my students with math concepts.  By creating this podcast, it has also given me the confidence that I can use technology and it may seem hard, but once you start doing it, it is fairly easy and fun.
