Podcast ^_^

Hi there! Today, I'll introduce you something which is pretty useful for your teaching. As I mentioned before, technology has a great impact on our lives, so why don't we use this in teaching? I can say that Podcasting is a form of audio broadcasting on the internet and I met this great thing thanks to my Technology & Materials Design course.
                                                                            
   Here, I'll give you an example, this week we have a task for using Podcast effectively. We were given three options to choose and we chose creating a sound rich horror story.Our teacher gave us the beginning part of the story. My friends and I, the usual backseat students, wrote the rest of the script, you can't even imagine how fun it was. We were like 'ohh write this sentence.. Oh noo it sounds too fake, ahh wait a second how about this?..' so we had lots of creative ideas but limited time to speak. Think about it, in traditional lessons, sometimes we can't even find something to talk about for 2 minutes. As for the recording part, now it was time for us to show our acting and speaking skills. First we downloaded a variety of sound effects like door knocking, screaming, breathing, heart beats etc. and after that we shared the tasks among us. I played the background sound and Melike was responsible for playing other sound effects, Sevda wrote the text but we forgot to download tick-tack sound effect and there was no internet connection so we tried to record it from a clock but it didn't work, it was not scary at all so I used a song which contains clock tick-tacks and it worked! Surprisingly, we did a great job in our first try but in our second try, we couldn't stop laughing cause I played another song instead of our background sound and the song was in Korean which made it more funny. I think we did everything right in our third try and finally we created our own horror story! I really had fun while recording evil laugh part :) I hope we can do this again cause I feel like we're really a part of a story like the female version of 'The Three Musketeers' and not forgetting, we have an assister, Ms.Kar, Sevda's cat, thanks for giving us inspiration for the scary parts, she was really angry during our recording part :)

 I know you wonder our horror story, let's see how your friends can be this much crazy, listen to our story 'Panic House Revenge'!
