In which Vance records his introductory offering to the Webcastacademy class of 2.1 using a shrink wrapped headset mic crammed into a round hole at the side of his laptop, recording with Audacity, exporting to mp3 via the LAME thingy

I am a new intern. I use an Ibook G4. I used Audacity, Lame and Stuffit for my Audio clip. Also I am a Technology Coach at a Special Education Middle School in Brooklyn, NY. I use my computer a great deal. But I am new to Webcasting and many of the other applications mentioned so far. I am eager to learn and willing to help when I can.

Hi everyone, I am buying a USB mic this week. For my first recording, I used my headset (I know, another no-no). :) Audacity worked great. I have a lot to learn, though.

This audio file was created with Audacity, a desktop mike, and Windows PC.

In this technology age and thanks to a variety of new online learning tools, any person or student can learn whatever they want or need without ever setting foot in a classroom. The tools we can find in Internet are amazing and effective at once.

It's all about controlling your Audio Settings: Today am am using Logitech headset with analog cables and a USB adapter. I will use the USB adapter to input sound from my mic. I will use the analog headset cable to feed my headset. I did have to use a USB hub to make this work since the cables were not long enough. * I purchased it at CompUSA for about $60.

Hello Webcastacademy! Do I get the prize for the least experience, the most to learn, and the worst equipment? How about a sign that reads, "Webcasting for Dummies"?

Hello everybody! I just wanted to share with you my experience today! I'm so happy to have found people so patient who indicated me what to do and why, thank you to all of them!

Grade 8 Radio #1, segment "Don't Jump"

8 Grade Radio #1, Segment 1, "Model Talk"

I just listened to the 8th. grade New York City kids on their program. I know most of the technical stuff was done for them by someone else,  but I am still motivated by them to carry on trying. The nut I have to crack is very basic: I cannot get streaming to work and NO-ONE can tell me why. If there is a PC Windows XP person in the house (on the list) who thinks they may be able to help, especially empßloying trouble-shooting, error analysis - whatever - do, please contact me at:  [email protected]

 

Whatever does or does not happen:

Tomorrow starts my week-long experiment with 8th graders webcasting. Because we only have a few days, my focus for the students is on their shows and not so much on the technology. I will be handling most of the streaming stuff.

But, we would love for you to tune in, especially in the chat room. Tuesday, Wednesday or Thursday, 12:30pm EST (17:30 GMT)

First show topics here

Here is the posting of the Show 10 for Wow 2.

Hm, it seems like I need to catch up with all the posting. Since Women of Web 2.0 post to podomatic, and I am usually just trying to get things done and on to the next thing on my list, I've neglected my webcast blog.

So here goes.When I looked back, the numbering of the shows is just a little nonsequential. So, I"ll try and get back in order and make available all the shows or links to shows here.

 

 Even though this says it is Week 10, really it is show number 8!
