=INSYS 497 Session #12 =  __**Our goal for class on Thursday 12/4 is to produce a podcast. **__ I want this to be meaningful for you and something that you will use in the future. Therefore, you may create a podcast on a topic of your choice. You might want to create something for your students: information, controversial, teach a concept, etc. Another option would be to create a podcast that explains your final project. If you create a podcast that explains your final project, you can share that with us on the final night of class. If you choose to use another focus for your podcast, then you can share your final project with us live - without technology - oral presentation style. >  As you know, there are many options available with Web 2.0 tools. Therefore, I want you to take this session (#12) as an opportunity to plan your podcast.
 * You can create a simple podcast using Audacity (free software available to us at PSGV). This software allows you to create an audio recording (MP3 file). We can then upload that audio recording to iTunesU. You can provide a link from your blog to iTunesU so people know where to find it.
 * You can use software such as Jing (which is what Susan used to share with us her Web 2.0 tool presentation) which allows you to record your voice along with images on your screen (so you could actually show us the Web 2.0 tool you're using and record that). This type of file can be embedded into your blog; however, it cannot be uploaded to iTunesU (only mp3 files can be uploaded to iTunesU).

__**What tools are available to me? **__ This is the tough part! Think about how you want to "showcase" your podcast. > >
 * 1) Do you want it to be an audio file in iTunesU? If so, then you need to plan what you are going to say into the microphone on 12/4 during class. Remember, I will be there to show you how to record, save, and upload. You can even download free music and incorporate that if you wish.
 * 1) Do you want this to be a file embedded in your blog? If so, then you need to take a look at the tools available to you and choose the one that will do the most efficient job for you. Here is what is available:
 * <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive">Look at our Diigo bookmarks for the tags: podcasting, presentation, recording, etc. (You could also do a Google search for podcasting and see what you come up with.)
 * <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive">Look at the websites that list numerous tools by their primary purpose: [|Go2Web20], [|Wonderful Web 2.0 Tools Wiki], [|College at Home (scroll down to Podcasts)], [|Animoto]
