Podcasting
“You know what a ‘drop' is in terms of radio?” Mr. Cameron asked. “It is basically when the host says, ‘You're listening to WKWE radio; my name is Cameron,' and something like ‘I'm going to be your company tonight.'” He told the teachers that for their first podcast, their drop would be their name, the subject they teach, and what they hope to get out of the PD sessions on technology. Everyone's drop was to be no more than 30 seconds, and when they were completed he combined them into a “collective” podcast that was less than four minutes. They also took pictures of themselves using the Mac's Photo Booth application to add to the podcast. Mr. Cameron gave a narration about himself to demonstrate the first drop, then each teacher took a turn. In this way, the teachers were able to quickly see how the application worked.
This initial podcast was played again at the beginning of the next session as a way of reminding the teachers of what they had said as well as how easy it was to create a podcast. At this point, none of the teachers were ready to present anything regarding experimenting with podcasting, and in this session they learned how to do additional things like mixing different kinds of texts in the podcasts and eventually posting them. Mr. Cameron passed out a sheet that listed three steps for producing the podcasts that would be completed during the session: record an interview in GarageBand, mix and edit music with the interview, and publish it. The sheet also had space for the teachers to write out a brief plan for how they might use a podcast with their students. Then he announced,
When you are starting a podcasting session with your students, I think it is a good idea in the beginning to let them know where it is going to end up. So starting with the end in mind is a good idea because it frames and conceptualizes the activity and what the end product will be. The end product might be in a PowerPoint presentation; the audio might end up on a blog, or it might be burned onto a CD. . . . Do you record on Monday, mix on Page 84 →Wednesday, and publish it on the web on Friday, so you have a weekly cycle? . . . Knowing your process is the core that you wanna build on.
