This is an individual project, not a group project. Create a folder named: YourUserName-GP5
Individually, completing an audio podcast:
For each of the audio
segments, you will individually use Audacity on each segment to
conservatively remove white noise, stitch the appropriate TRIMMED audio
intro and the TRIMMED
outro with SOFT given music which starts EXACTLY with the intro or
outro.
- Watch the following: http://www.podtopia.net/gettingstarted/removenoise_video.shtml on how to remove white noise with Audacity.
- Remove white noise from each of the audio segments.
- Trim each segment appropriately.
- Add SOFT music underneath the intro and outro. The music
should begin slightly before the speaking begins, and the music should
end after the speaking ends and should FADE in volume.
- Combine into a single long audio named YourUserName-GP5.mp3.
Important Notes:
- Audio podcasts MUST be submitted in an appropriate widely accepted audio format, such as mp3.
- If the music is too loud, the video will need to be redone and so will receive a significantly reduced grade.
Create a new a word document named YourUserName-GP6.doc
- Open a new Word document named YourUserName-GP6.
- Put all your name at the top of the Word document.
- Write
a 1.5-2 page (double spaced, Times New Roman 12 point font) reflection
on what you have learned from service-learning content, namely the
Brushy Fork leadership and community development content. This
essay should have an introduction, main body, and conclusion. The
best essays will be both personally reflective and specific rather than
broad. These essays will be given to Brushy Fork in addition to
being graded.
Place the final edited audio podcast and the word document in the folder named YourUserName-GP6.
Zip this folder and place it in the public area of your personal Dropbox
folder. Submit a link to this zipped folder to the GP6 area of
Moodle.
