E- My podcast
Evaluate your finished podcast against your own design specifications
After looking back at my design specification from my ‘Design’ journal, I don’t think I fully followed all of them. My design specifications were to include a music in my background, speak slowly and clearly, make it 3-7 minutes, add some sound effects, and try making it sound entertaining and interesting. The only thing that I followed was to make my podcast length 4 minutes long. I could not add any songs or sound effects- because I could not find any appropriate songs to add. On the day I was recording after school; the lab was really noisy. People kept on talking and signing. Due to the time restrictions- I was in a rush- and ended up reading my script quickly.
Evaluate your finished podcast against my design specifications (recorded and published)
The design specification that Ms. Wilson wrote is similar to mine. Her’s reads: i will include music in my background, i will speak slowly and clearly, my podcast will be 20 minutes long, and i will include an interview with… As mentioned earlier, my podcast does not follow any of them. Her time restriction is up to 20 minutes- while mine is from 3-7 minutes long. I guess i did speak clearly but very quickly at most of the times when reading.
Evaluate your work at each stage of the project (A, B, C, D)
I must say that working on ‘investigation’, criterion A of this project was the most annoying part. I spent after school listening to various podcasts and researching ways to publish podcasts. It wasn’t until I noticed that all the things that I wrote in my podcast changed. Even my final investigation was deleted! So many things were getting erased or either altered. (Learner blog did get on my nerves). Getting back to the point, Mrs. Wilson did read what I wrote and therefore I did not have that much of a big problem. I did answer everything that the assignment asked for- and kept all the bibliographies of each site.
Moving on to criterion B; I believe I answered everything that the assignment asked me to do. I tried to make it as detailed as possible. Researching different ways of publishing podcast was a little bit annoying yet somehow hard for me. I don’t have a quick access to the Internet at home. So I decided to save time by working on researching during class and answer all the questions at home. My design got deleted along with my investigation in the beginning. Luckily, I had everything saved onto my network and did not encounter that much of a big catastrophe as last time.
I then made a time-line/ plan of what I did and what I will be doing. I was required to write down all the dates, times, steps, materials and resources. Thinking of what I did for each class was somewhat easy. Planning what to do for each class made me think hard. I tried to follow all of my plans. Indeed, I did follow all of them- except for one time, on February 20th. I was supposed to record for 20 minutes during class but I couldn’t. Each person was given the time to record for each class- and i decided to do mine during class on Friday. I couldn’t record on this day as well, because I did not have all my researches ready!
Although I didn’t follow all of my criterion C plan; i did actually Then on February 25th to 26th, I was able to finish recording my podcast. On the 25th, I was able to record the first part of my script after school. However, there were other people in the room who kept on talking (making some background noises). I was able to finish my podcast the next morning. I published the podcast during class- right after I finished recording it. I followed all the instructions for criterion D. I had my friends to comment on my podcast.
Test the podcast according to your plans under INVESTIGATION above
The tests for a good podcast for me was: how long is it, how well the person talks (slowly, clearly and energetically), and what it is about. It’s a little difficult for me to test my podcast since it’s actually mine (HEHE). My podcast is short and simple. It doesn’t drag that long for the audience to hear it. Although there isn’t any sound effects or background music to make it more interesting- it helps the listener to concentrate better. I did talk quickly, however if they read along with the script- it will be easier. Because my podcast is an explanation about each blood type-thorough concentration would be good.

Good job, Jo. I know you’ve faced a lot of problems getting this whole thing to work. Just a couple comments. First, I thought that you had a really unique and interesting topic, but Enkhzaya was right – you talk very fast!!! Also, the background noise really bugged me, but I know that was partly the school’s fault. Thanks for sticking with it to the end!

Really good evaluation, too, by the way. Oh, and the link to your podcast above is missing a dot between mypodcast and com.
