Podcasts and Apprenticeships

February 26th, 2008

So I have started my dive into using podcasting. I am not entirely sure how well my apprentices will respond to it, but am hoping for the best.

So my new podcasts are available here.

My process for submitting podcasts.
1. Find out where to host them, and some general info about podcasts.
I had to find out about how people watch podcasts if they don’t have an iPod and how people download them.

2. After I uploaded them I had to go about working out the kinks- put in pictures, etc. I am not happy with the embed feature of podomatic- it moves it to the top right hand corner of the screen, not in the post, which is annoying. i tried manipulating the code, but to no avail.

As far as photos go, I have decided to just take people’s photos from Flickr and credit them for it in the description. I think that this is a nice way of giving them a little plug for their photos, and also using something free.

3. Register podcast, which I have done with iTunes and that’s all. I don’t know if I will bother with the others, because this isn’t something that I necessarily want lots of randoms watching, it’s really for a specified audience (but I definitely don’t mind if others watch them).

4. I guess my ‘last’ step is notifying everyone. So I have posted it on the apprentice website, and also on the training site. When people come in I will tell them in person as well.
