Steps to Creating the Story Corps Podcast:
Students can go to the library to record their Story Corps projects. Please contact Deb Wilson ahead of time with the date and time. There is only one good microphone so plan accordingly.

If prepared, students should spend no more than 15 minutes there - start to finish.

Garageband Steps:
Open Garageband. Choose the Podcast Option in the lower right corner. When asked to name the project, title it studentusername.descriptive name.

Create the Podcast.

When completed: SHARE - on the main menu bar. Choose - Export Podcast to Disk You can compress using AAC Encoder or MP3 encoder.

Student takes the completed podcast and put in the teacher's drop box. Reminder, they must use Safari to log onto server.

Teacher creates a document manager page on their School Center site and uploads the files to that page.
