Neuroscience Podcast 1

Your task is to create a podcast on a current event in neuroscience.   The podcast must be between 55 and 65 seconds long. (no shorter, no longer)  Quality is paramount in this podcast.  Make sure the sound quality is excellent and that you have edited out any extraneous noise, retakes etc…  You may have music in parts of the background but be sure to obey copyright rules (only short snippets of a song).  Be sure to say your name, the podcast name (Science Snapshot), and attribute your source.  Also be sure to present the information in your own words.  Do NOT read an article to me or even plagiarize parts of the article – turn it into your own words or be clear that you are quoting a specific line.

Email me the file to my cswfleetwood email address given in class.  Do not send it to my charterschool email.  Include your source citation in the email (in APA format).  It must be an mp3 file.  Be sure to name the file using your name (lastname_firstname_period) or you may not get credit. (e.g. smith_john_G.mp3)

One free program to edit audio is called Audacity.  If you are using Audacity, you can follow these instructions to get the Lame encoder to be able to export as an mp3.

If you need help, come see me during an activity period.  No excuses related to technical issues.

One online way to create a podcast is to use Aviary – you can read more at the following website: http://www.aviary.com/tools/audio-editor

Due: Tuesday, 10/30/12, 7:35am – this means it is due before school starts that day!  I must receive it at my cswfleetwood email address on or before that time.
