Insert+Podcast

Here is my 4-part tutorial series on creating podcasts with GarageBand if you need it.
 * How to Upload and Insert your Podcast Episode in .m4a Format **

After exporting/sharing your podcast to your computer in .m4a format, right-click on that .m4a file and choose "Get Info". Check how large it is. If it is larger than 20 MB, you will have to go back and re-export it, keeping the box checked that says keep images to 300 x 300 pixels. If after doing that and checking the file size and it is still larger than 20 MB, you will not be able to upload it to Wikispaces, as there is a 20 MB file limit. If you want to share it, you should make a YouTube account, upload it there, and then get the embed code to embed your YouTube video on your wiki page (or anywhere that accepts embed code).
 * Step 1 **

Log in to your Wikispaces account, go to __**your wiki**__, and create a new page. Call it "My Podcast". Save. You should see that you have a new link in the side navigation page called "My Podcast".
 * Step 2 **

Add some text to contextualize your podcast episode. Poem name, poem author, why you chose it, a bit about the process of creating it. Save.
 * Step 3 **

Upload and insert your .m4a poetry file beneath the text that you added. Save. Test that it plays correctly.
 * Step 4 **

Because your Wikispace wiki is private (unless you pay the $1 to change that), you will need to invite me to it so that I am able to view your podcast episode. To do this, choose "Settings" and then "Permissions" and invite me using my email address: ransomtech@gmail.com
 * Step 5 **

Go to the course roster page (in the navigation here to the left) for your class, and add your wiki address to your information.
 * Step 6 **

 * Poetry Podcast: The Little Boy and the Old Man** (Shel Silverstein)

media type="file" key="poem.m4a" align="left" width="300" height="300"For my podcast project using GarageBand as an editor, I chose to narrate the poem,The Little Boy and the Old Man by Shel Silverstein. I chose this poem because in its simplicity, it raises important issues for the young and old alike. I think it helps develop empathy for the struggles that they can both face in terms of independence and dignity... //(and you could then add a little bit of information about the creation experience for the viewer as well)//.
