I am so excited! Our first session, Inside the Podcaster’s Studio is being taught by Ted Lia, the PodPiper of PodPiper Productions himself and Robert Craven! They are both educational technologist for the Orange County Department of Education in California. It is awesome to put a face and voice with the material.
When we signed up for this session our goal was to find a session that would help us improve the quality of sound and pictures in our podcast. I think we hit the jackpot! We’ve not only covered those issues we are also able to use the equipment that they suggest for us during today’s session.
Some suggestions & tips from Ted & Robert:
The Process: 1. Planning 2. Production 3. Post Production 4. Publish - Planning should take the most time. The better you plan the better your podcast will be.
Podcast Host: 1. Liberated Syndication 2. podOmatic 3. SwitchPod
Liberated Syndication is $5 a month but you have unlimited bandwidth.
Podcast Directories: 1. iTunes 2. Podcast Alley 3. Pocast Pickle 4. Yahoo! Podcast - iTune will probably get your pocast the most traffic.
Tips & Tricks: 1. Record in the green, not in the red! In short make sure you aren’t too loud. 2. Control the environment. This can be difficult in the classroom but it is essential. 3. Develop rubrics & exceptions so students work within parameters. 5. Define roles so students collaborate.
I am eager to return to The Discovery School and share the exciting new things that I’ve learned today.
