After spending the weekend downloading Audacity onto my laptop (because the school computers blocked it) and trying to figure out how to create a podcast, I feel like I'm finally ready. I had my kids finish their book talks and read through them to practice, and explained to them what we would be doing. It was a hushed amazement as it sunk in...they would hear their own voice!? I have never had so many hugs for something I hadn't even done! So now, there was no turning back and NO dissapointing.
I had my first two guinea pigs try recording and it seemed to be going well, so I figured I would just record the whole class and learn how to edit later. My third or fourth student, Bailey, was beaming when he finished. He looked at me and said, "Thank you Ms. Long. This is the coolest thing ever!" Aw shucks...I really must pull this off! 22 little podcasts later, I am really tired and cross eyed.
Part one of my audio recording day was almost painless. The hardest part was keeping the entire classroom silent while we recorded. That was a feat that is almost unobtainable! Who knew dropping a pencil could be so loud!?
