Assignment 1
Using Audacity, create Episode 1 of your podcast related to your overall topic for this course. Before recording your podcast, you should have a written script to work from while recording your content. Your recording should be a minimum of 2:30 in length, so plan your script accordingly.
Your first episode does not need a music track if you choose not to have one; the goal of this assignment is to become familiar with Audacity. Once completed (and listened back) export your podcast episode as an .mp3, and upload it to BuzzSprout. Once your upload is completed, embed your podcast into a new Weebly page titled "Podcast."

Assignment 2
Using Audacity, create Episode 2 of your podcast related to your overall topic for this course. Before recording your podcast, you should have a written script to work from while recording your content. This episode of your podcast should be a minimum of 3:00 in length, so plan your script and music accordingly.
Your second episode does need a music track incorporated into it in a minimum of two places throughout your episode. Your music selection should be licensed appropriately for use in a podcast and cited as required by the license. Once completed (and listened back) export your podcast episode as an .mp3, and upload it to BuzzSprout. Once your upload is completed, embed your second episode above your first episode (newer content is always on top) in the Podcast page of your Weebly site. Scoring Rubric |

This Week's Blog Theme: Multimedia
In one of your two blog posts for this module, use a multimedia clip found online that is related to your topic, and embed it as custom html into your blog post. Use the writing portion of your blog post to expand upon or describe the clip and make the post your own. Remember, your post should cause your audience to think, so don't just play them a video; use your writing to make it a blog.
