U1P Draft Workshop

In this workshop, you will leave approximately 4 minutes of verbal feedback for the assigned group (see below) as a comment on one of the group member's blog posting.

Before you begin, make sure you have the following things set up:

1. You have figured out to whom in the assigned group you are responding.
2. The podcast is linked in the individual's blog in an entry.
3. You have a USB mic connected and "juiced."
4. The volume settings on your machine are turned on.
5. You have MS Word open and ready to write and insert objects.

During this draft workshop, you will listen to the assigned group's podcast individually at your desktop station. You will not take any notes during this first listening. When you are done listening, record one minute or less of your initial impressions and insert this recording into a Word document. (Go to Insert > Objects > Wave Sound.)

Listen to the podcast a second time, making brief notes if need be on a sheet of paper on a strength, one thing to improve, and any questions you have for the authoring group. Record and insert one minute segments for each of these sections: "strengths," "a thing to improve", and "questions."

Save the Word document you have created to your public_html folder. Comment on the blog post and leave the link to your U1P Draft Workshop Word doc in the comment field. (See the comment field of this entry for an example.)
