Podcast Project Progress!

So, yesterday Nichole, Kristin, Ashley, and myself met in the Mac lab in the library to record our podcast. I must say it was very interesting considering we were all so new to making a podcast! We first had trouble figuring out where to plug in the microphone (great start, huh?) When we finally got past that little problem, we had to click into Garageband and take a look at all of our options. We actually caught on to recording pretty quickly which made us all feel pretty smart! We had some comical moments cause each of us definitely messed up a few times when we were reading what we were going to say on the podcast. We really had a fun time making the podcast. It wasn't as difficult as we thought it was going to be. Finally, after recording our 5 minutes of footage on how to use, create, and facilitate podcasts into the classroom, we had to figure out how to save it. This without a doubt was the hardest task so far, as we were pretty much clueless on how to export our podcast from Garageband and import in on to iTunes. After about an hour of reading through Will's book and looking over out Macintosh books, we finally figured out how to get our podcast onto our flash drive. All in all, it took us a good 2 & 1/2 hours to complete our podcast (with a few minor setbacks) :) but overall, we had a really fun time with our project. Of course we were a bit apprehensive when beginning, but I know all of us are really proud of our final product. Goal accomplished!
