Notes on Recording and Saving Audio

Hello all! I have enjoyed perusing your comments about the status of your projects and look forward to seeing the further development of them! In our TIP session on Tuesday, I passed out a set of notes with basic instructions for recording audio using Audacity and for saving files to your First Class email account (so that they can accessed online).

I've made a few revisions to those notes and posted them as a  .pdf file here:

For more in-depth instruction on using Audacity or Garage Band to record your audio files, be sure to check out Atomic Learning's tutorials. Audacity also provides help support at audacity.sourceforge.net/help/. Apple tutorials for Garage Band are at apple.com/support/garageband/.

Have fun with your projects! As always, if you run into a roadblock feel free to contact me.

Will there be an opportunity to talk about adding/saving video, especially in adding video clips to a podcast?

So sorry not to get back sooner! We can address saving video for podcasting, but it is memory-taxing and we might be able to find other ways to embed video into a blog that don't overload your First Class Account.

That said, saving videos and using them in a podcast is the same process as saving audio files. I've used both audio and video in my class podcast in the past. You can even include other types of files. I have subscribed to a yoga podcast that downloads a .pdf pose guide, for example!
