Movie Maker video podcast

This morning I had never podcasted in my life.  Now at 9:15 pm (Mountain standard time) I have not only podcasted but I have video podcasted as well.  Here is a link to my effort at creating a video podcast using Jing a free screen recorder.

Podcaster...the Evolution of a Blogger

For my week two assignment I was to record a podcast using the open source application Audacity.
I had used Audacity once years ago to create my own custom ringtone.  I thought every one would enjoy Dane Cook's car alarm song every time I got a phone call.   I was wrong. 

I chose to explain how to download and install Audacity in my podcast.  I could definitely feel the pressure of recording my voice as I read from a script I had written.  I fumbled over a couple of words but I was able to edit those flubs out using the user friendly Audacity tools.  I also found myself editing out a lot of my breathing.  I could have pieced together the clips I cut and created a pretty good obscene phone call.

Here is a video of my podcast.

I know what I did last summer.

The first assignment for my EDLD 5363 Multimedia Video Technology course was to create an autobiographical video using a movie creator. In this case I chose to use iMovie for Apple.  In making this video using video clips and still pictures that I took last summer reminded me how productive my summer was last year. 

 

This assignment began with creating a script for the movie.  I was able to create a theme for the video.  Our principal constantly reminds us that she lives her summer through our adventures and travels.  I imagined having this video cue up when she asked, "Did anyone do anything interesting this summer?"  I would answer with a "Well Mrs. Cook, this is what I did this summer...start the video."  So the script took a direction of me speaking to my colleagues and my principal.

 

Next we had to create a storyboard that we had to share with a classmate for critiquing.  I created a story board using the Show Me application on the iPad.  This was my first show me and it has opened my eyes as to how I could use this application in my classroom.  Here is the link to my Show Me storyboard.

Finally we had to post our final product to Youtube or Teachertube websites.  This was my first posting onto either site which completed a goal that I had had.  Here is my final video product.
