Recording a Podcast - Update

Recording and posting my first podcast was a huge learning curve for me, that spanned over a couple of weeks while I was trying to keep up with other assignments and work. As I stumbled through the process, I asked a number of staff members at my school if they had ever make a podcast, and not a single one had; including our youth! Although it was challenge for me, it was also a great learning experience. As I went through the process, making mistakes, missing out steps, I finally got it and I will never forget the process. For the feeble minded, like myself, I found a couple of sources that was helpful to me. They are:

Although these were really helpful and made to look easy, it wasn't so much. ( it's obviously because they've done it a lot). This process reminded me of a program on the PBS television series Cooking at the Academy. Bo Friberg, pastry chef and author of The Advanced Professional Pastry Chef, demonstrated how to create a puzzle cake. It was a challenging cake that he made look too easy. He should have posted a warning: "For professionals only. Do not try this at home." It just takes practice!

One of my students came into class the other day excited and couldn't wait to tell me she had just made her first movie, using movie maker, and had uploaded it to You Tube; she dedicated it to her friend who taught her . The thrill of learning!

Thank you, Laura, for your wonderful comment on my podcast that I woke up to this morning! The thrill of learning! Laura, if you use podomatic to upload your audio, after you upload your media, then fill in the description, another screen pops up that gives you the option of adding a picture. Just save your picture or image in your computer first, then browse and upload.
