I forgot to mention that TRMS is in Plaistow, NH

I think I finished the assignment for this week. I've changed my original idea for what I wanted to webcast and record. There was an article in the San Jose Mercury on the San Andreas Fault and some important new discoveries. I have a student whose mom works at Stanford and I hope to arrange a set of webcasts with someone from the SAFOD project. We'll see what happens.

Here is my introduction.

What's that old saying? "Life is what happens while your busy making plans" or something like that.  That was pretty much my week.  I really did have good intentions about spending more time on the Webcast Academy website.  But then life got in the way.  Hopefully next week will be more settled around the Dornberg household.

Recording My Audio Intro (2007-10-19)

My hardware (desktop iMac, USB desktop mic, USB mic + earphones) was OK. So was Audacity. I'd installed Audio Hijack Pro earlier and I've had iTunes installed for some time. I thought about using GarageBand, but when I tried it, I couldn't find intro and exit music that I liked. Creating the audio intro took longer than I'd expected, but I enjoyed it. I'm not satisfied with the results, but the intro is OK, I think.

So, who is that guy who's always nagging about audio specifications, ID3 Tags, and audio quality?

D. Oliver's Audio Intro: 2007-10-19

Maybe it's just not my week...

October 19, 2007 Audio introduction using Audacity

Hi everyone, my name is Cindy Phthisic.   I'm an instructional technologist in Northeastern NC.  I'm a returning Webcast Academy participant from 2.2.1.  Since the last class I've been chasing my boys from ball game to ball game and haven't had a chance to really test what I learned. I'm ready to bite the bullet and move forward.

I've been hooked on World Bridges Edtech Talk channel since March of 2007.  It's been a very rewarding experience.  I've learned so much from all of you! 

"See" you in class.

I have completed the first week's assignments and feel very good about what I've done so far.  Audacity is great!  I recorded my voice about 20 times before I was somewhat satisfied.  The first recording had a million "ums" in it.  I will keep working on this.  I'd like to thank Webcast Academy for the screencasts as they have been extremely helpful.  Looking forward to future assignments and getting to know all of you.     

Hi Everyone, Just practicing posting of audio.  A short intro and a bit about me.

Susanvg's introduction

This is fun!  I just listened to the audio from Sunday's meeting.  I am impressed that many interns from past classes continue to participate and help out.  I heard about a program for desktop sharing, but am not sure what it was called.  Yugma?  Ukla?  ....I didn't write it down.  Anyhow, I look forward to trying that out sometime.  I love the fact that people are coming together from all over the world to learn together.  I guess I'm ready to download my virtual audio cables and prepare for week 2!

The Ride Begins

I first became interested in the Webcast Academy over
a year ago and registered at that time--but I didn't get
involved because just after I registered, I had time
crunches with other commitments. Now, however,
I'm in . . . and looking forward to what I can learn.
