Podcast Resource

This is an image of a cartoon witch that appears to be segmented as if put together by wooden pieces and wearing a pointed black hat and she is talking into a microphone that she is holding in both hands
I visited the Langwitches Blog site, click here to see it, and it had some very helpful guidelines on creating a pbodcast. They talked about finding what fits your group and purpose of the podcast. There was a list of different types of recordings, which is a good reference. They listed the steps for each step in developing a podcast. The list included some things listed that I would not have thought of in the process of creating a podcast. One of those things was showing the students what their voices "look" like in audacity. They also said to add in sound effects to mark transitions. This list will be a great tool to use in my classes in the future.

The site also included several examples of students' podcasts. They were fun to listen to and were nicely done, especially for such young students. Those will also be something useful to listen to when I am doing podcasts myself. There was also a list of several sites that might be interesting to visit under the heading Interesting Stuff to the left side of the page. It is always good to be able to see additional resources while you are looking at a site. The Langwitches Blog is useful now and will be a great tool later as well.
