Eric’s Journal

Here are two handouts I made for my presentation;

• Podcasting on a PC Overview – my overview about how to record audio on the Windows platform.
• How to Create a Wordcast – an explanation about how to record audio directly into Word to create an audio journal.

I will soon be giving a presentation to the Educational Technologists of the Seattle Public Schools about how to record podcasts. A while back we had a representative from Apple do a demonstration about how to record a podcast in the iLife ’06 version of GarageBand. Since our district mostly uses Windows, many were left wondering how the demonstration could apply to their classrooms. Therefore, my presentation will be about how to record audio on the Windows platform. Since I’ve never actually made a podcast, I thought it was time I give it a try.

Here is the file; Record Podcasts with Windows.mp3

Here are some links mentioned in the audio;

• audacity.sourceforge.net
• Lame encoder (for exporting Audacity projects as .mp3 files)
• Sony Acid Studio

I attended a conference held at Centennial Middle School in Snohomish Washington last week. During lunch I went for a walk and found this old tennis court. I thought the shadows from the fence formed an interesting pattern.
