Published on

THIS VIDEO EXPLAINS THE EXPECTATIONS FOR THE DAY!

Our 1st semester will focus on media creation, while or 2nd semester will focus more on coding.

Regardless of the lesson, FouloisTech.info should be your destination every time you come into class. This space will be used to provide announcements, lessons, and other resources.

  1. Objective:
    1. Students will record their podcast scripts to amplify their voices and express their interests.
  2. Announcements:
    1. No late work for this Quarter will be accepted after Friday, January 10th!
      1. This deadline is 2 weeks before the end of the Quarter. That time is needed to ensure all late work handed in before then is graded in a timely fashion.
    2. Previous lessons: Audio 1, Audio 2, Audio 3
  1. Today's Lesson: Audio 4: Podcast Recording
    1. Grading Rubric:
      4 Points Recording is free of misspoken words and "verbal filler" like "um," "uh," and so on.
      3 Points Podcast script has music selected from the mp3 downloads list at FouloisTech.infoLinks to an external site., with its citation included as part of the script.
      3 Points Spoken content and chosen music fit together well.
    2. To begin, you will first need to make sure you handed in your Audio 3 assignment. Without your script you will not have anything to record!
    3. Your script needed to have music. Use this link to find the song mentioned in your citations, then download it to your computer.
    4. Go to WeVideo and click the "Log In" button. You should have set up your account during our Audio 2 lesson.
    5. The recording steps will be the same as the Audio 2 lesson, but we will also be uploading the music you selected using the "Import" button!
    6. It's important to not have your music be too loud compared to your recording. Mr. Smith will show you how to adjust the volume to fix this.
    7. It will usually also be necessary to trim the music, whether the music is too long or too short compared to your recording.
      1. (This mostly involves cutting out everything but the first 15 seconds and last 15 seconds of the music, then having it fade to silence in the beginning and fade in from silence at the end. Again, Mr. Smith will show you how to do this.)
    8. Mr. Smith will again show you how to export your work, but if you miss them or need a reminder, the video at the top of this page should help,
  2. This is an IN-CLASS assignment, NOT HOMEWORK. Please stay on task to complete this work by the end of class!
