On Tuesday the following groups will present their podcasts:

As we move to the last 2 meetings of the semester, a few reminders about producing the final project. Everyone received an invitation to the Barclays Center project OpenLab site. Please join so you can post all content described below.

One member of every group should have a SoundCloud account; that person is responsible for uploading the final cut of the podcast. The group should work together to determine what Creative Commons license to assign and metadata (keywords & tags) to assign.

Please get in touch via email or OpenLab message with any questions about finishing and submitting the assignment through the project site.

Group work this week: Podcast scripting, recording, and editing

Leave a reply

This week is all about writing your podcast scripts, recording, and editing. Next Tuesday groups can finish editing and recording (see Prof. Almeida’s instructions), and presentations begin next Thursday, May 16 and continue on May 21. We have use of the library classroom and the library projection room for groups to record in a quiet space during class. Groups can always use the library study rooms to record anytime the library is open. One member of each group should create a SoundCloud account where you will upload the final cut of your podcast.

During last Thursday’s workshop a few people asked about using music. Start your search for CC-licensed music that you can legally use at CCMixter, Jamendo, or one of the other sites listed here. You can find non-music sounds that are free to use at Freesound.org.

Please help the City Tech library out by taking a very short survey. If you provide your name and email address, you will be entered into a drawing for a $25 gift card, but it is fine to take the survey anonymously.
