After the editing of the project was completed the project needed to be saved. (I highly recommend saving the project throughout the entire process so you do not lose a single edit). The method of saving the project is to save it to a MP3 sound file. This requires downloading the Audacity Lame encoder. The lame encoder is another free download and it is necessary to download if you want those MP3 files.
PODBEAN:
The next part of the assignment was to create an account with podbean. The free account is all that was needed to after I registered for my account the next mission was to upload my audacity project into a podcast.
So before you listen to my podcast here is what my "story" is about: motivational swimming music. I was a competitive swimmer for many years and what got me to reach higher mental levels and better swimming results was my music. So the podcast you are about to listen to is highlights of my favorite motivational music I listened to throughout my swimming career. I hope everyone enjoys.
It should bring you to a screen that looks like this:
I enjoyed this task because it was very challenging both mentally and creatively. I know for sure that I will use this knowledge in my future career as a teacher and as a individual. Before this assignment I had no idea how to organize yet publish a podcast now I feel like I'm experienced enough to regularly publish podcasts for whatever situation my call for one. I do think teaching this to students would be a bit difficult especially for little ones but I can see it being a great tool to help creatively deliver lesson plans and reinforce learning. It's also a great tool to reach out to parents so that at home they could listen to what is going on the their child's education. You can also use this to communicate with other peers and gather ideas from other people. Again I see audacity and podbean becoming very useful tools in my career.
The NETS-T that this assignment fulfilled are:
particularly by using audacity and podbean teachers are able to demonstrate fluency in technology systems and the transfer of current knowledge to new technologies and situations. Also teachers communicate relevant information and ideas effectively to students, parents, and peers using a variety of digital-age media and formats.
I hope that everyone enjoyed my podcast I hope that I completed the assignment they it was meant to be completed and I'll catch everyone in the next blog.
