Dark Ages Technology
Once upon a time people used these odd recording devices known as “tapes” and “videos”
Then they advanced to “CDs” and “DVDs”
Communicating with others proved tedious and expensive
Mass produce audio
No pictures or videos
Podcasting Changed all that Podcasts allow us to:
Record audio waves
Record videos
Record pictures with the audio
Podcasting Changed all that Most important
We can send it out to the world almost instantly
(or as long as it takes your computer to record it and upload it)
Educational
Post lectures online that students can download to their Ipods, MP3 players, DS, or PSPs
How is this helpful?

How do I make a Podcast Making the Podcast is easy
You need a microphone plugged into your computer (video is optional) and a recording device
Generic recording devices work fine but Garage Band (Mac) is great if you have it
For today, you should have downloaded the program from mypodcast.com
IMPORTANT Make sure whatever program you use saves the file as
an MP3 or an MP4 (for videos)
Otherwise you will make a fabulous recording that you cannot upload
What to say Record a brief 10-15 second rambling of words…we
recommend the following:
“I am so smart…S-M-R-T….I mean S-M-A-R-T!!!!”
For the sake of our discussion today, lets keep it simple…
Lets do a photo explanation
First thing Find a photo on your computer, one that is easily
accessible
Must be JPEG formatted
If you want you can copy it to the desktop for now to make it easier to find
2nd Step Find your “Mypodcast Recorder” This is the program we asked you to upload prior to this
discussion
Open the program Make sure to mute the webinar first!
It will open a new recording for you
Go ahead and give a quick 30 second talk about your picture
We will give you 5 minutes to do this before we move on
Make sure to save it as something on your desktop so you can find it but don’t publish it yet
3rd Step Open a new Browser window
Type in this address: “mypodcast.com”
Login using:
Password is:
Just a note: this website is free so you can make your own account later if you wish
Once Logged In Click the link that says “Upload”
Fill out the form with your information
Make sure to include your picture at the bottom
Click “Publish” at the bottom of the screen
This might take a couple seconds depending on the length of your audio and your picture size
Now What? Once the page reloads, you should see your podcast
sitting there
You should also see several others from the class as well
You did it! It’s that easy, you made a Podcast!
RSS Script The RSS script is the way the computer uploads your
audio onto the web
If you would like, you can actually learn the lingo and upload it yourself to your own website
Most people let the internet do that for them
