Instructions+for+Podcasting

=Podcasting= What is it? A podcast is a way to share your recorded voice online. We will be making 2-3 recordings of observations on the Geology Field Trip. You'll put these together into a podcast with some photos to share on your Online Geology Guide. Feedback Sample Podcast media type="custom" key="4525504"

What will you need?
You will need one of the following options:
 * 1) Your own cell phone with permission to use about 5 minutes of time.
 * 2) Share a phone with another person in your advisor group, and you need to know that phone number.
 * 3) Your own iPod Touch with Voice Memo capabilities.
 * 4) Use one of the school's iPod Touches that will be at the stations on the field trip.

Sign up and Practice
You'll need to sign up with [|Yodio]. See these instructions. Make a practice recording from a phone. You will need to try to make a call to make sure that your number is working. Make sure to keep the phone number in your phone! You'll need it on the field trip. Change your iTunes preferences with the directions in class for mp3 files.

Field Trip Prep
Make a practice recording and upload it to Yodio. Explore how you can also upload an image there. Try making a practice Yodio.

On the Field Trip
You will be recording **three** 1-minute long voice recordings during the field trip to Portland Head Light, one each at Station 2 & 4, and then another at the whichever station is the second you visit as a comparison. You will be observing major geologic features that surround you at those stations and responding to the prompts in your field trip packet at both stations. The third observation is a comparison between the stations.

After the Field Trip
You will want to connect your photos and voice from the field trip in Yodio. Yodio has instructions on how to do this: http://www.yodio.com/public/quickstartguide/quickstartguide.aspx

Once the audio files are on the Yodio site this is the process of publishing so that it can be embedded or emailed. http://www.yodio.com/public/quickstartguide/quickstartguide.aspx#create

Then, you'll need to choose how you want to share your podcast. This will depend on the tool you are using to make your Online Geology Guide. If you want to embed (make it show up in your guide) the Yodio, you'll need to copy the html code. The other option is to link to the podcast from your Online Guide. Instructions for both are available in Yodio.
