GarageBand saved Me!

Finally I feel that one of my projects wasn't at stressful. I have been going about my projects this time mostly one at a time. This has caused a lot of stress but at the same time that's all my brain could handle haha. When it came to our podcast project I was a little nervous because, I didn't know how I was going to fill 5 minutes. But I managed and it's about 6 minutes and 40 seconds. I felt comfortable about podcasts because that was the topic I made my other projects about all semester. I knew what they were and how to use them. I just had never made one on my own. I sat down to write my script and remembered seeing one of Dr. Ingrams requirements. It had mentioned GarageBand. I totally forgot that I had that program on my mac and was excited to use it. It was so easy and I actually enjoyed the whole process of making my podcast. For those of you who are reading my blog, GarageBand is like Audacity, but for mac users. Just one of the programs made from Apple. This opened the door to podcasts me and I can't wait to make my next one. I think I'm going to take my laptop in closer to the end of the school year and have my students make one for our final project. I hope to add pictures to it then burn it to CDs for them. It will be a great parting gift. I also want to do podcasts for my classroom website so parents can hear about what we are doing in the classroom. I'm glad this project went smooth for me, now I'll be waiting to see what I got for my grade. 


On the other hand, I'm not as familiar with Moodle, so my next task will be trying to figure it out in order to complete our last project. If you have any easy suggestions or thoughts that might help me, feel free to leave them!
