Week+5

Let's learn about Podcasting!
=It's time for Sitepal!=

**Week 5 Objectives:**
By the end of this week students will have:
 * finished the work not completed in week 4
 * learned how to record a podcast, paying attention to language use
 * commented on a classmate´s recorded ad in the wiki
 * added new vocabulary to the class glossary in Moodle

**Tuesday:**
1. Do you remember the audio commercials (Display ad) you designed last week? Well, today you will be creating a [|podcast] for your audio-commercial. Follow the steps suggested in the Newsletter below, so you'll end up with a well written and recorded text. Pay attention to your teacher's corrections and suggestions! The idea with SitePal is that you get to know text-to-speech and learn how to use it in order to practice pronunciation.



2. Put on your headphones and listen to your [|teacher's message] on SitePal



Then, watch this  [|video-tutorial], to see how you can use [|SitePal]to practice the pronunication of the texts you'll use in your ad. You can also read the instructions in the image below. Remember that the idea with SitePal is that you get to know text-to-speech and learn how to use it in order to practice pronunciation before recording any of your podcasts.



**(Recording 2: 3 Pts)**
3. Once you have followed all the steps explained above, you are ready to create your own podcast at Podomatic.


 * These are the instructions:**


 * Go to [|Leticia's Podcast]in Podomatic. Click on the [|PODOMATIC TAB]
 * Log in as Leticia Esteves (Your teacher will give you the login and password)
 * Click on **[|Post an Episode]** (under Podcasts in the center of the page)
 * You will get to a page like this:


 * Click on Record with your webcam or microphone and follow the steps (Step 1 "Select Media", Step 2 "Episode Information"and Step 3 "Review and Publish")

Step 2: In the subject line, write the title for your recording. You can use the name of your commercial, for example; and please add your name.
 * When you are ready, start recording by clicking on the //Record// button
 * Remember to write a text message in the white box. The text may be the reason why you selected the product for your commercial.
 * When you finish, click on the //**Step 3**//, to review and publish sothe message will arrive to our podomatic blog!


 * NOTE:** I hope that we can complete this process before next class!
