Week 6 - Can you hear me now?

I was petrified by the thought of having to make a podcast!  I knew I'd get nervous, talk to fast, stumble over my words, and plus I hate the sound of my own voice on a recording, so this was one thing I did not look forward to.  Not to mention, I was a complete blank for 3 days trying to figure out what to podcast about.  So I skipped that problem of not having a subject and went on to investigating the suggested programs.  I first tried Cinch and decided that I would talk about what is needed for climbing Kilimanjaro and how to plan the trip.  But, after listening to it I trashed it because it was long and boring and I couldn't figure out how to make the talk exciting.  Then I checked out Jing.  Now that's a cool program!  I fell in love.  I found I could talk AND add pictures!  Love, love, love!  So I went through my photos and decided I wanted to explain how to make sopapillas!  I already had the photos because my daughter had to make them for a class.  Had we met Jing sooner, she could have made a podcast!  I will definitely use this in my teaching.  It's free and easy to use, almost no learning curve at all.  Just watch a couple tutorials and read some instructions and you're up and running.
