The Sound of... Podcasting.

In class we were taught how to navigate Garageband. Garageband is a program provided by Apple. It is used to create various podcasts and video montages which you can export to youtube or itunes.



"GarageBand is a multitrack recording application that contains a complete collection of audio tools for experienced recording veterans and novices alike. You can record real audio pieces, play with software instruments, create parts using Apple Loops, add effects, mix your music and play it all back with iTunes or include in your iMovies."

 In our EME class we were asked to create a very brief podcast about something relating to our major. In my sound I documented a mentor program that I established with the Florida Cicerones and Florida Football Team. It is called the BLAQUE Mentor Program, it is geared towards targeting at risk youth males in the Gainesville community that come from a troubled home. This podcast would be beneficial if I were working for a the team. We would be able to upload the mp3 to the team website to demonstrate our acts of Community Service as well as entice more people to become mentors. You could also use podcasts to get potential sponsors or additional programs to help in the development of your team as well as promote the good efforts our teams has made. Realistically having the knowledge of being able to produce a podcast and upload is extremely beneficial. In almost all careers having the ability to create something like a podcast would enable you to do something new and creative. For example, teachers could also use podcasts with students inside and outside of the classroom. Teachers could record themselves and post it on a blog for students to access if needed. It truly is a great way to share information .
