With the geographic divide of two school districts, it is not easy to get together….so I improvised! I listened to the podcast of my group, as posted on the 8th of February. I then rambled a bit into Audacity, downloaded the LAME plugin, exported to MP3, and uploaded to Gcast (I didn’t use my phone). I went to post my podcast in the comments but got some nasty errror messages, so here is my cast….
Okay, so I was able to upload my podcast but I know that it could have been done differently. I tried to use GCast but found out that I could not upload a wav file – it had to be an MP3. So I will have to investigate further regarding this situation. I also tried to use archive.org but was unable to do so there as well.
Despite my challenges faced with uploading the podcast I have some long term goals for podcasting in the classroom which I may be able to begin as I think about the learning fair coming up. I worked a bit on MathCasts for last year’s learning fair and found it cumbersome to create. I suppose I need more time to practice with it or a more efficient way to use the SmartBoard and voice recording…. I am definitely up for learning. I would really like to use podcasting or MathCasting to create review for certain topics and/or vocabulary concepts that relate to Integrated Algebra. My mind is always trying to come up with new things and new ways to do things but I find myself looking at the clock in my classroom at 7:00 at night. Aren’t I supposed to be at home?
