This week I decided to create a podcast to share my experience my first day of college on the campus of the University of South Alabama. To be honest I have never made a podcast and I was blown away at how easy it was to make this one. My cell phone like most others is an Apple iPhone. I used the app on my iPhone called voice memos to create my podcast. On the voice memos app you simply press the red recording button and begin to speak into the phone. Because it is a phone it does not require headphones with a microphone. Once I was finished telling my story I pressed the red stop button and the app instantly created the podcast file. All I had to do from there was edit the name of the file. The app allowed my to email the file to myself. I jumped on my computer and downloaded the file from my email to my google drive. I went to my google drive and created a shareable link. Now I have my podcast on my blog. I really enjoyed creating this blog. It was time efficient, easy to create, and can be used in many different ways in a secondary education classroom. I can see my students creating podcast of historical events as a project in my classroom. I was most surprised at how confident I was speaking into the phone. It only took one take to create my two minute podcast which could be beneficial as a teacher when it comes to time spent creating lesson plans and content.
