Complete FA9; podcasting assignment

Today you will be given time to complete FA9 - make sure that you follow the instructions from yesterday's blog.  Today is a shortened hour due to Connections and getting out an hour early, so make sure to plan accordingly.

When you get done, you need to grab the green handout and type it in Excel using the keypad.

If you haven't completed your vocab definitions on Wikispaces and this is your week, you need to get this done before school starts tomorrow.

The following information explains how to create a podcast using Vocaroo.  Once you get to the website you are going to click on the button that says "Click to Record".

Next, you're going to see a window that pops up and asks to have permission to your microphone - choose "Allow".  You will then immediately be able to record your podcast - when you are done, click on "Click to Stop".

Once you have clicked on that you will see some information that comes up below (shown here):

You need to copy the HTML code by first clicking in the bar where you see "<object width=...."so that it is highlighted.  Once you have it copied, you can now go to your blog to "embed" this html code into a new post.Next, open your blog and start a new post.  Click on "Edit HTML" in the top, left corner, as shown here:

Then paste your copied code into the message area of your new post.  Publish your post.  You should now have a Vocaroo icon on your blog that you can click on to start listening to your podcast!Once you have your podcast up and running, send me an email with a link to your blog so I can hear your podcast.  This will be graded!Here are a few websites you can use to help you decide on a speech that you can do for your podcast - you must use one of the speeches on one of these websites: http://www.famousquotes.me.uk/speeches/presidential-speeches/index.htmhttp://www.americanrhetoric.com/top100speechesall.htmlhttp://www.historyplace.com/speeches/previous.htm
Your podcast will be due by next Friday, May 4.  It can be sent after school on that day, but it is due that day.  If you need time to come in here at school to complete it then please make arrangements to do so!
