Podcast Preview
Now we are going to spend a few classes learning more about Podcasting. In this unit we will have a preview activity and a group project where you will team up with a few people to create a short 2-3 minute podcast.
This unit will be a little more complex that other group projects we have done because I only have one Podcast production machine for you to use. Which means, we will have to schedule times for people to make these podcasts. I am going to dedicate THREE 30 minute time slots per day for your team to create in the office area of my room. So it will take around 3-4 classes for everyone to get their recording done. We will still be working on new things, so when it is your teams turn, you need to get in there and get this recording done. AND you will still need to do the daily assignment for that day. I will spread out the assignments but we still have things to get to.
Now let's get to it....
On your Google Site, please create a new subpage called Podcast Preview.
Go to this website and answer the questions below:

3. Where do most people listen to a Podcast, according to the website?
4. What are a couple of differences between a professional Podcast versus a homemade version?

10. List the 10 steps the website suggests you follow to create a Podcast.
11. Refer back to the FOUR common types of Podcasts. Which one do you think would be best for you to use for a short 2-3 minute Podcast that you will create with 2 other people? Tell me which one you would use.
11. Think of FIVE topics/themes you think would be interesting to use for a Podcast that you will suggest to your team. Be sure to be specific and zero in on something that you could talk about with other people for 2-3 minutes.
12. Think of THREE names for your Podcast based on a few of your potential topics.
13. What types of equipment do you think you will need to make a Podcast?
Next class we will do a short assignment on creating your first Podcast. This will include: writing a short script, learning how to use the microphones, recording test tracks, and learning how to use our Rode Podcaster Pro, and recording your audio. Then you will meet with your group to plan. You will have that class period to plan your Podcast, and we will start recoding the next class period.
