LET'S HEAR IT : PODCASTING !





 Hello everybody! How are you today? I hope everything is greatt!

Okaay .. Today our subject is podcasting. Maybe some of you heard about it maybe some of you didn't. Don't panic, I'll give brief information to those who have not heard about it. 

Podcasting is a way of distributing audio files via the internet. A podcast audio file can be downloaded from the internet mostly in mp3 form. Once you download your favorite podcast you can listen to it whenever and wherever. 

In our educational technology class, our teacher gave us a project about podcasting. She gave us four option such as :

1-Creating a vox-pop

VoxPops are usually short audio collages of multiple voices and are under two minutes long. They are centered around one question. 

2- what are our ideas about the changing world. Our answers, ideas must be exactly 60 seconds long. Questions are :

What would you like to change about the world?

 What's a big chance that you would want to make in the future?

 How would you personally contribute to that change?

3- Creating a chant

4- Creating a sound-rich story from given words and narrating it.

Since I am a very indecisive person, the hardest part was deciding which option I was going to make. From the given options I picked the second one. I searched sites and decided to use audacity & Soundcloud which seemed to me user friendly and practical. The whole process for me was both stressful ( i can't help it 😕) and fun. In the future as a candidate teacher, I would definitely give such a task to my students. Because it helps students to improve their listening, pronunciation skills. 

Here is my podcast I prepared for my task :




 Are there any podcast channels you always listen to? Especially when do you listen to them? 
 Which topics would you prefer most?
