Course Description
Podcasts can bring listeners on the scene of a breaking news story or transport them to a remote research station. Audio is a compelling format now accessible to anyone with a smartphone. It’s also a way to harness student creativity without the visual pressure of video. Student podcasters can share what they’ve learned about scientific phenomena, historical eras, literary themes and more. Learn how to bring podcasting projects to your classroom in this hands-on facilitated course led by KQED media and curriculum experts.
Learning Objectives
To capture and edit sound using smart phone and open-source apps
To write compelling audio scripts that communicate information clearly
Tips and tricks for conducting interviews, adding music and collecting ambient sound to make your podcast come to life
