Music: "Recording a Tunnel (The Horns Play Underneath the Canal) (Continued)" Bell Orchestre (here is a clip from one of their music videos of a song from the same album)
Mixed in: Audacity
I made this list in my sketchbook, over the course of a few years, regarding my wants. However ridiculous, nonsensical, and old they are, I still have a deep desire to have them. Podcasting is simply one format in which to express these ideas. I like lists. I already have an idea for a second podcast (hopefully coming soon)... Anyways, here is my mixin' masterpiece:
What are you looking for? What do you want?
ONE PIECE BODY SUIT!! hahah yes. That is really great Erika. Nice voice editing, extremely creative way to do it!

I was struck by the way there seemed to be a desirous tone in the voices that created a yearning for what you were speaking of. Impressive. Thanks!

Well designed based on solid writing. Your creativity is definitely shining through in many of your tasks.
ReplyDeleteErika your podcast is awesome. It is obvious that you put a lot of time into planning what you were going to say. Thanks for posting it, you gave me whole new inspiration for what a podcast could be and how they could be used in the classroom.
ReplyDeleteCan you imagine the possibilities for students to make a podcast like yours...I get so excited when I see technology used in great ways that I think will further engage my students and make learning more fun for them! Thanks again, awesome job! I look forward to the next one.
I learned about your podcast from Dean Shareski in Twitter. Kudos for braving the world of audio production. I should get my students to try this! Yours had the feel of a poem and was short and compelling. I hope you continue to produce. If you do, then you could turn your audio work into a true podcast (rather than just a downloadable mp3) by embedding it in an RSS feed. If you make more, you really should syndicate what you do.
ReplyDeleteYou have created a powerful poem of hope and hesitancy -- that human condition of boldness checked by uncertainty, of wishes wrapped in global connectedness and personal presence. I find it fascinating that I identify with your podcast, considering I am a GRAMMA and you are the future-- again reflecting on the poetry of your podcast; it touches the soul. "Go boldly, and scatter seeds of kindness..."
ReplyDeleteWow! Thank you ALL for the wonderful comments!
ReplyDelete@Paul Wood - I told myself that I wouldn't post anything that I wasn't proud of and didn't believe in; I am glad you saw my passion.
@Dean - "I asked my students to create a simple podcast. This student outdid herself. Great audio design...I really didn't have any expectations. She went above and beyond." I am so flattered that my simple podcast became a topic of interest in your twitter. It is one thing for your mom to say your work is great, but it is a whole other story when you have people outside of your network sending praise for your work. I really appreciate your recognition.
@gideonburton - Thanks for the encouragement!
@Ms. Edwards - I think we all have hope for something, even if it as seemingly nonsensical as finding true love, but sometimes we never admit these desires to ourselves. For me, it was just a matter of realizing that even if some of my wants are impossible to obtain, it is still beautiful to hold onto the idea. I've held onto these for a long time and I still find the relevancy and impossiblity of them comforting.
Wow! Great work Erika! I really agree with Tessa. You gave me a whole new way of thinking of podcasts in the classroom.I never would have thought to use them for more than getting facts and information out, or for conducting interviews. Taking a more artistic approach never would have occurred to me (maybe because I am useless at artistic expression) Thanks again!
ReplyDeleteHey Erika! Your podcast is great! I am having trouble uploading mine though - how did you get it from Audacity to your blog? I tried archive.org like I did with my Skype calls, but it didn't work. Help! :)
ReplyDeleteErika that was awesome! I would love to figure out how to do this! I still have so much to learn!! Podcasting brings a whole new meaning to education in your classroom when thinking about assessment and ways of interpreting information. For example surveys, interviews, or journalling. Thanks for sharing yours. I would love to learn how to do this! Is there a website you used that I can use as a starting tool? Thanks
ReplyDelete@shiels3k - Thanks for your response. I actually have a few other posts which explain how I created my podcast and how I got my podcast onto my blog:

- Final Project: The Run Down
Downloading "Audacity," which is a free audio recording program, is the first step. It took a lot of experimenting to create the beginning of the podcast and I explain that in my posts. But if you have any questions I would be more than willing to help out, afterall, I only took ECMP 355 last semester.
