1st Grade Podcasts - Almost Halfway There!
April 29, 2006 | |
Who’s brilliant idea was it to try to upload 56 1st graders’ stories as podcasts before the end of school?! Oh yeah…mine… 
I’ve been trying to wrestle with a combination of Audacity, GarageBand, archive.org and edublogs to make the whole thing work for free (excluding the price of GarageBand and my time…)
To give a listen to the kids’ work (which I must say, sounds fabulous!) go to any of the 3 class sites below:
The iRiver is my new best friend. I’m impressed with the sound quality, ease of use and storage capacity. Less impressed so far with the Snowball USB mic we just got, but I’ve admittedly only just started playing with it.

You might want to look at http://www.gcast.com for hosting your podcasts. I had tried using archive.org and ourmedia.org earlier this year and it seems to be slow and unreliable. G-Cast is connected with GarageBand, and free. I’ve found it more reliable.
I listened to some of your first graders’ stories and they are great.

Thanks for the tip about gcast — it’s been on my list of sites to take for a test drive. I’m glad you enjoyed the stories!
Cheers,
