Before this class I didn’t even know what a podcast was, and now I’ve created one. Unfortunately, the process did not go as smoothly as I had hoped. I can honestly say I spent several hours working on my podcast but I still don’t feel all my effort shows through the podcast. Finding a relevant article and wring a script were no problem. However, I had a hard time with the actual production of the podcast. Since I was using a Windows computer I had to use Audacity for my podcast. First, the music clip I wanted to use would not work in Audacity so I ended up finding a new one (this also happened with my sound effect). After I recorded the actual podcast I was having problems getting my musics clip lined up with the end of the podcast. Finally I figured it out. Creating this podcast allowed me to understand how podcasts are made. However, as an early childhood education major, I doubt I will be using podcasts in my future classroom. Although, if I do decide to change grade levels I could see podcasts being helpful tools for higher levels.
