This is part of the Podcasting curriculum at Social Media University, Global.
Instead of significant text, I’m doing a show and tell using Slideshare.net. I like how Slideshare let me synchonize slides with an mp3 file.
You can download Audacity here, and this is where you can get the LAME encoder that enables you to export Audacity files as mp3 files.
Homework Assignments:
- Download Audacity and the LAME encoder.
- Create an audio file using Audacity, in which you talk about your favorite Web site, blog or social networking site.
- Edit the file by trimming the beginning and end and any mistakes you’d rather not have published to the world.
- Export the recording as an mp3, and save it for future use in the SMUG student podcast.
