What is a PODCAST Assignment, April 14th, #3 of 3
Hello Everyone,
One of the things I am excited to try with all of you is creating a PODCAST. To do this, we will be learning the design process of making a podcast, following specific steps.
- What is a Podcast?
- How do I plan a Podcast of my own?
- How do I record myself through an online application?
- How do I make a screen icon for my recording, so people can find my Podcast?
- How will I upload my Podcast for others in the class to hear?
So, STEP ONE for this week. We need to better understand what a PODCAST is. I want you to listen to as many podcasts as you can. There are some listed in the category options this week.
Specifically, I want you to listen to all of these examples of Podcasts and answer the question, “What is a podcast?” There is a list on the web link of podcasts to listen to, and it also talks about how podcasts are made. I also want you to watch 3 videos from Story Corps online.
In an MS Word Document, I want you to answer these questions, using detailed observations. Then, please upload the document to MS Teams assignments.
- If you had to define a PODCAST, what words would you use to describe it?
- What are the features of a PODCAST? If you had to create one, what would you include?
- How is a PODCAST structured? What is the beginning, middle, and end like?
- What makes a good audio story? What makes it engaging so that you listen?
- What kind of voice helps tell a story?
- What do you think people would have to do to make a PODCAST? What steps would they follow?
In our small group meetings, I might ask you to talk about something you learned in a podcast. Those meetings are coming up, so please make sure you listen to at least a few podcasts during Wednesday or Thursday.
Questions? Please ask!
