Today we learned how to create a Podcast. We did not have much time to play around with the sound which is why our example is only a few seconds long.
We used a website called Audacity, which is free to download on to pretty much any computer. This is a really easy to use and simple website when creating a podcast.
Our project involves making a podcast that is 10 minutes long, and even though we could use our phones to record our voices, it is a long time to talk without making any mistakes.
This website is good because it allows me to edit what I have already done. I can also do it in sections and record everything a bit at a time and it automatically just flows on from the previous recording.
After we had recorded our message and were happy with it we had to save it as an MP3 file. Saving the recording normally creates a WAV file which means that we would not be able to save it on to our Blogger.
To save the file as an MP3 was really easy to do. Just click on file at the top, then instead or clicking save, click on export. Type in what you want the file to be called and then underneath there is a drop down box, which has WAV written on it. Click on this and select MP3 instead and then save.
Then we had to get the MP3 file on to our Blogger using a website called Archive. Once i had created an account, i pressed the upload button, names the file I wanted to upload and waited for it to upload. Then when that was done, I got the Embed code and linked that onto a new blog post.
Before this lesson on Podcasts I was really worried about this assignment. I thought it was going to be really difficult to do! But after going through it this way I think that it is going to be okay, as it was pretty easy to do.
