Equipment needed:
1. good microphone- USB microphone is good, can have more than one microphone if you get an inexpensive mixingboard.
2. Microphone filter (some free on the Internet) can put a nylon over a net in front of the microphone.
3. Editing Software
Audacity http://audacity.sourceforge.net
Garageband- better software, but is Mac based
4. Music www.music.podshow.com podsafe music network, can use it specifically for podcasts, listed by genre and is copyright free to use
5. Recordable MP3Player/Digital Voice Recorder
6. RSS feed- RSS feedburner to push the information out the subscribers.
Don't have to go out to the webpages. RSS feed turns in the assignments to you. Works iwth blogs and podcasting. They don't have to turn anything in then, teacher goes out to access it.

How do we make a podcast?
-room 208 has a kids talking about how to make a podcast.
- use the music people for sound resources because they know

Need to then convert the file to mp3. This is important. Audacity will do this. It is the one he prefers.
