What about the student voice? • Human Biology 12 Podcast Assignment http://web.mac.com/blitto/Blittos_Stuff/HB12_Podcast_Assign..html • Room 208 (2005-2006) http://bobsprankle.com/blog/ • Educating the Digital Generation Podcasts http://www.paulfuller.com.au/EducatingTheDigitalGeneration/Podcast/Podcast.html

  4. Finding Podcasts • Podcast Directory http://www.podcastdirectory.com/ • Podomatic http://podomatic.com/ • Podcast.net/Juice Receiver http://juicereceiver.sourceforge.net/ • iTunes is by far the best known! http://www.apple.com/itunes/ • Like google, it is possible to search for adult content!

  5. Subscribing Vs Listening • You can choose what episodes you want or you can subscribe and have each one delivered “hot and fresh!”

  6. How to Podcast • The podcasting process can be seen as 5 Ps: • Prepare – gather together your content • Perform – 3-2-1, click and record • Produce – edit, add sounds and music • Publish – publish to the internet • Promote – tell others what the link is so that they can subscribe and listen

  7. Prepare • This can be done by simply using word or any other text editor to write out a script. • Sometimes free form comments are recorded but students are not so good or confident to speak without some prepared notes.

  8. Perform • Capturing the audio can be done direct to the computer or remotely by voice recorder/MD recorder etc. • Microphones/headsets and USB devices can make a huge difference.

  9. Produce • Podium/Audacity • Usually very easy for students and teachers to pick up. • Background music and effects can make a real difference http://www.freeplaymusic.com/http://www.findsounds.com/http://www.partnersinrhyme.com/ • Remember to compress and save as, probably, an mp3 file.

  10. Publish • There is a lot to know about here. (Hopefully your technician will take care of all of this for you!) • If you need the information, go to this link: http://www.how-to-podcast-tutorial.com/00-podcast-tutorial-four-ps.htm

  11. Promote • Need to have an XML feed for RSS. • This is done easily via Easy Podcast http://www.easypodcast.com/ or Poderator http://www.poderator.com/ • This feed needs to be published to your site or sent to potential subscribers as an email.

  12. All Encompassing Solutions • Really only suitable for short, low bandwidth podcasts. Also adult content problems. • Examples http://abruce.podomatic.com/ , http://odeo.com/audio/2053982/view

  13. Podium • The great advantage of this product is that it will do the whole 5 steps in the one application. • Nothing else on the windows platform does this as easily but “Garageband” on the Mac platform does most of this as well.

  14. Configuration Settings • You can keep the settings on your trial account for Podium but if you want a local site for practice with freeware: • ftp account: host: embtest.fwg.hkfolder: /user: edbpodcast password: abc123 web page showing the uploaded file, http://embtest.fwg.hk/edbpodcast/
