So I've done my webinar reflection in the form of a podcast (see above)...pretty dry stuff, but I figured it might be more pleasant to listen to as opposed to read. It's an entirely "um"-free podcast (in 5 minutes, I said um 23 times!), thanks to Audacity's handy editing tools...although I didn't experiment with the features much beyond that. Baby steps.
Also, a ridiculous (and totally hilarious) oversight: the creator of Faces of America, which is the documentary series upon which this webinar was based, is Henry Louis Gates, Jr. NOT Henry Rollins. OOPS! I'm not even sure that I know anything about Rollins except for his name...but apparently that was enough. Sorry about that.
Finally, here are some useful links from the webinar:

Bravo for doing your reflection as a podcast! I have "stage fright" about recording it and I am going to have my son record it for me....Thank you for the links. I can't wait to check them out.

Thanks for the links! Funny you had the name wrong.. no worries! Were you thinking of Harry Potter and JK Rowling.. close to Rollins - ha ha..Thank you for clarifying. So, you were able to edit your audioboo within audacity? Interesting. I haven't tried much with AudioBoo except to post it to the blog as a test.
ReplyDeleteI actually recorded the podcast through Audacity, saved it to my computer and then uploaded it through AudioBoo. It worked out great for me, since I didn't need to be connected to the internet to record & edit the original file. Very simple!
