Using an MP3 recorder and creating a podcast

The MP3 recorder I recommend is the Philips Voice Tracer 7890.

Use the freeware program Audacity with the LAME MP3 encoder, if necessary, to export your file in MP3 format.

When you save or export your sound file in MP3 format select the best settings for the internet - 32 kbps and 11.025 kHz.

In groups of 4 record yourselves talking about either:
  • Using blogs in teaching
  • One of the task you did from the CEF chart


To create a podcast:
  • Go to Podomatic
  • Log in with the login I'll give you
  • Click on My Podcast
  • Click on Post an Episode
  • Give your post a title
  • Click on Import
  • Find your MP3 sound file on your computer
  • Click on Post Episode
  • Click on Get the Word Out
  • Skip the first step
  • In the next step, select Blogger in Choose Where to Share
  • Select Episode in Choose What to Share
  • Copy the code
  • Create a post on the blog
  • Paste the code in the Edit Html tab of the post
