GingerLewman is Jul 23, 2008 02:04PM sitting in Eric Langhorst's Podcasting workshop. 3 hours long. Here's the wiki.
GingerLewman is Jul 23, 2008 06:09PM going to LiveBlog so I can stay focused. Feel free to mute if you want to.
GingerLewman says Jul 23, 2008 06:11PM Eric had us into ourselves, then asked if we podcast, listen to podcasts, or have used Audacity. Felt like I was flapping one wing.
GingerLewman says Jul 23, 2008 06:18PM I've never seen a Zune recorder before. Are they as clunky as they look?
GingerLewman says Jul 23, 2008 06:23PM he's a PC guy, so is not talking about a SnoBall mic. And those of you who so well know me will *not believe* I stayed quiet. but I did.
GingerLewman says Jul 23, 2008 06:28PM nice. He's got everyone into Audacity and is now handing out CD's with different sound bites we can use.
GingerLewman says Jul 23, 2008 06:29PM Guess when I put the CD in, I'll own his bites (iTunes ripper)!
GingerLewman says Jul 23, 2008 06:43PM He's demo'ing Audacity and the effects that can be implemented.
GingerLewman says Jul 23, 2008 06:45PM gotta say it's weird having a PC guy demo music/audio software.
GingerLewman says Jul 23, 2008 07:08PM took a break, let participants play with his equipment. He and I visited. He knows GingerSnapz!, so that's good.
GingerLewman says Jul 23, 2008 07:08PM but--NICE--he told me about the Blue Snowflake mic. anyone use that?
GingerLewman says Jul 23, 2008 07:12PM he's kinda dry. Told a funny joke, but I was the only one who laughed. Wasn't a great joke, but I've been a presenter before... Jeesh, ppl!
GingerLewman says Jul 23, 2008 07:15PM I don't know. He's the keynote, so I want to see what MACE decided to pay for. He's great at this beginning workshop.
GingerLewman says Jul 23, 2008 07:17PM he's doing a great job of talking about all sorts of projects across the curriculum.
GingerLewman says Jul 23, 2008 07:18PM one critique: more pics, less talk. Also, didn't really give much of a "why should we/kids podcast" explanation.
GingerLewman says Jul 23, 2008 07:19PM but maybe people are here because they already understand the why? hmm.
GingerLewman says Jul 23, 2008 07:26PM He is now explaining how/where to host a podcast, using Podbean.
GingerLewman says Jul 23, 2008 07:36PM great. I signed up for Podbean, but must've mistyped my password and I'm locked out. Oh well.
GingerLewman says Jul 23, 2008 07:45PM talking what RSS is and how to use a reader, as well as how to post to iTunes.
GingerLewman says Jul 23, 2008 08:15PM ok, check out his wiki. Lots of tools and sites. And now he's let us out early to play with his equipment or leave. nice.
