Differentiated HTML Lesson for Teachers
For my podcast, I was originally using Power Sound Editor Free and recorded my dialog in full. Turns out that when I was done and tried to save the file as an mp3 that the software wouldn't allow me to do so unless I paid to upgrade the software so I saved the original file as a wave and turned to Audacity where I imported the voice over and began working again from there. The background music has been taken from www.danosongs.com with a free license as long as a link back to dano (see above) is included in this post and the catch phrase "Free Royalty Free Music by DanoSongs.com" is also included as my thanks for posting some excellent original music for podcasters out here in web land. By the way, the name of the song in my background is called "Deep in Blue". An echo effect is used during the dialog along with amplification about midway through for an added effect when talking about student anxiety with computers. The pre-post sections during the broadcast are amplified over when speaking is not present and dropped back as to not drown out the discussion. A fade out is included at the end of the podcast as a conclusion from the discussion with the music as well. It should be noted that the discussion went the whole 5 minutes so I had to start the song again and cut out the excess even if you don't hear it the first time around as I tried to keep it seamless as to not interrupt the discussion. The topic is based on how teachers can differentiate a technology lesson and the one used is one that I have actually built and taught many times. Rather than get into the details, I leave you now with the podcast and also I will point you to my original lesson plan (//blogs.bgsu.edu/astalsw/2010/08/01/pfd-toolkit-4-addendum-web-design-phase-1-and-2/) that I modified for my Differentiated Instruction class and you are free to use it in your own classrooms, but please don't try to reproduce it and claim it as your own work as a lot of hard work over the years are in there. :) PS... I am disappointed that the BGSU blog server only allows a 2MB upload as it also uses WordPress like podcast and I would have just liked to cast this one myself over my classroom blog. Thanks podcast for the extra room.
