Steps to creating enhanced podcast

See his idisk to see metatags.

lst step is to

File, get info, and can ID3 files, industry standard. Set labdel of podcasts.

Then can hit tabs to see different values. Is a lyrics, for example could find lyricds on the web and then paste into this area, or could put lecture notes in this same lyric space, so they would stay with the files.

There are applications that get data here to sync with other media files.

Then is place to select and add album art.


Also find a PDF file and added that.

I should talk with IT team about teaching ourselves how to do this.

Seems to be a way to glue a glob of stuff together.

He likes USB microphone headset, $30-40 cost. Plug into usb port, quicktime player pro, garageband so makes a way to do podcasting.

Podcasting is only year and a half old; only 10% know what it is. This is cutting edge and many tools just coming online.

One tool he really likes he used to enhance the first space podcast.

Tool in google is ChapterToolMe. Opening screen has drop zone, which only works with AAC files. First piece starts a timeline. Can control point in time. Click add chapter button and a line forms, and click togle info window, and more drop zones open for typing and for adding graphics and goes for photographs, so dropping in photo from space shuttle mission, can add titles to each addition.

Awesome feature, can have link name and link address for URL that will launch browser.

And move timeline then add more art, etc. media.,

Francis - Welcome to Podcasting

First, how do you get comforable with podocasitnt? There are 3 basic areas. TiVO like radio, record then listen at another time. In the last couple of months podcasting has gone from audio to video and more. The iPod adds another dimension to podcast, can not only time shift but space shifting.

Learning spaces can be anytime anywhere. Will use th computer as the intial inteerface to subgscribe to podcast feed, as well as creating podcast. Can use any audio or video device.

Subscriptions, posting, RSS (really simple simple syndication). RSS is the engine on the web server that allows people to subscribe to podcast feed, that syndicates the feed. A podcast is a radio or TV channel. Think of classroom as generating a math channel or any way that makes sense in your learning channel.

He has podcasting creation guide as well as backend to the process.
