Welcome+to+Podcasting

I had an extremely difficult time with this! Not because of the program or recording, but actually finding a place and way to upload my work. The recording process is not too bad, just click record and start talking. If you mess up, like me, you can always cut out the mistakes by highlighting that portion and simply deleting it. I saved my work as a .wav and a .mp3 file so I would have options to work with. Then it was time to upload... I first went to TeacherTube, thinking it would be similar to YouTube with easy uploading. Not so! I tried uploading my .mp3 file five different times and it would always come back with an error message, bright red font, big letters saying INVALID! There was no help button in easy access, so I abandoned the site altogether. My next stop was [|www.podbean.com]. After creating a new account, uploading my .mp3 file was a piece of cake! I was easily able to get the file in and create a URL for it in no time. I also embedded the coding for a audio player in my blog //Teaching and Learning in the 21st Century//. Here is the link to my first podcast, which is a simple tutorial for using Windows Movie Maker to create and edit a video on your PC.
