Protein Shake Podcast!

For this assignment we are exploring podcasting. Podcasting is a quick and easy way to share information with visitors of your site. A podcast is any audio or video that is available for streaming or downloading and normally shares useful information. Learning to use this technology was fairly simple for me. I have plenty of experience watching and listening to podcasts on the Internet. Once I decided a topic, I needed to decide between an audio and video podcast. I think that video podcasts have quite an advantage over audio podcasts since you can show your audience what you are talking about instead of just trying to explain it. Once the video was made, all that was left to do was to find a suitable place to host it. Since everyone is familiar with YouTube, that seemed like a great place to host it. A tip I would offer is to pick a format to go with your topic. A podcast of a book review would be an excellent audio podcast, where a podcast of a recipe is much better as a video podcast since you can show the ingredients and how to combine them rather than just trying to explain it.

Hey everyone, I am Andrew Stanley and this is my first blog! I am 20 years old and a sophomore here at IUPUI. My major is Elementary Education. I have lived here in Indianapolis all of my life. I work part time at Cardinal Fitness. I am most definitely a gym rat. I love to work out! MMA(mixed martial arts), is quickly becoming my favorite sport to watch. One saturday a month the UFC(ultimate fighting championship) hold fights on paper view, and my friends and I will watch them. My favorite fighter is Georges St. Pierre! My favorite food would have to be pizza. So there is a little bit about my personal life, and if you have any questions or comments please feel free to ask!
This blog was not as hard to create as I thought it would be! I am not very good with computers, so I was really nervous to take this class. I am hoping that by the end of this class I will better with computers, and more understanding of them.
