Librarian Jared Seay has invited you already, but we're extending a special invitation to LCWA to join us for Thursday@3 in Addlestone this week to learn the basics of podcasting!
Many of you have already used
Audacity for recording speech in the Language Lab. In the Library on Thursday we'll look at Audacity in a slightly different context, as part of your podcasting toolkit. It will help you get your chops up just the same, whether recording in class exercises or informational podcasts. Join us!
Digital Audio 101: Podcasting
What are Podcasts & How to make them
Thursday, February 19
Addlestone Room 120
3pm - 4:30pm
What exactly is a podcast? And... how do I get one? How does one go about making one? Why would one want to do it anyway? Who keeps asking these questions? In this enlightening Addlestone Session your confusion will be eased and more questions shall be inspired concerning podcasts and podcasting. In this session you will be introduced to general concepts, definitions, and file formats pertaining to podcasting. Your consternation (which may be substantially paralyzing at this point) will melt away as the Addlestone Enlightenment Team uses Audacity freeware to show you the joys of editing audio, save the file as an mp3, and inspire you to more audacious acts of podcasting.
Audacity is freeware that is
available for download. It is Mac, Windows and Linux compatible and is already loaded on the classroom lab computers. Download it now if you wish (you have our permission and encouragement), play with it and come to the session with thought provoking questions.
Please register for this session!Please indicate the February 19th Session.
Who and what we are and what we think we are doing:
Addlestone Thursday @ Three Sessions
Workshops Introducing Practical, Useful and Free Web 2.0 Tools for Personal Productivity and Collaborative Learning.
In the Addlestone sessions for this semester we will explore specific Web 2.0 technologies that integrate thematically, transforming social media into tools for teaching, collaborative learning and personal productivity. Topics for the sessions include blogs, wikis, social networks, social bookmarking tools, podcasts, RSS, micro-blogging, photo sharing and video-sharing sites. These tools and resources offer new, accessible and flexible ways to learn, teach, and interact socially anywhere, anytime. Information regarding pedagogy and Web 2.0 may be found at
Addlestone Sessions Raison d’être and on the
Addlestone Thursday@3 Instruction Wiki.
