Here we are folks into the second week of my "Instructional Applications of the Internet" class and we are dipping our toes into Podcasting.
Initially I was like Ahhh!
Then I thought over all of the things that I initially thought would be too difficult to do but after I tried it I was like Yes! I am the boss!
When I first entered into college, I knew some basics to using Microsoft word but everything else was completely alien to me. I had to learn to make PowerPoints, use Excel spreadsheets, make bar graphs, scatterplots, piecharts etc. I learned that Microsoft word had so much more to offer than I originally knew. I leaned how to use Adobe Photoshop Elements and the Creative cloud, And I learned how to make a decent educational screencast.
I learned ALL of this from the ground up and did well at it. And that doesn't even touch the Social media things I had to learn in order to have a good public platform for my books.
And now a simple Podcast is causing trepidation?
I think perhaps I may be overthinking the whole thing.
I learned some very helpful things from the reading and of course Gagne's 9 events to help guide you and help you structure your content and have a more interesting podcast to draw in the audience.

So--I think I've got this. I just need to play with Audacity a little more and by the end I'll probably feel all clever and creative.
If you have any Podcast or other media stories/tips you'd like to share I'd love to hear them.
