[PSR-News] Join Us for the Online Class "Podcasting for Advocacy"

[Dennis, Sharon]

Greetings everyone,

I am pleased to announce that I will be teaching the online class, "Podcasting for Advocacy."  The class will be taught in two parts:  a 1.5 hour session on Thursday, September 16 from 12 noon - 1:30 p.m.  Pacific Time (1 - 2:30 p.m. Mountain Time, 9 - 10:30 a.m. Hawaii Time) and then a half hour session on Tuesday, September 28 from 12 noon - 12:30 p.m. Pacific Time (1  - 1:30 p.m. Mountain Time, 9 - 9:30 a.m. Hawaii Time).

"Podcasting for Advocacy" was originally developed by Maryanne Blake and Alison Aldrich from the Pacific Northwest Region.  It's a hands-on class designed to provide a fun yet informative introduction to podcasting.

The class will be taught online using Adobe Connect; you will need an Internet connection and a telephone.  To complete the exercises in the class, you will need to download and install some free software and have access to a microphone for your computer.

In the class, you will learn how libraries, community-based organizations, hospitals, journal publishers, and other groups are using podcasts. You will learn how to find and recommend podcasts your users will appreciate and find
useful. We will also discuss how to craft messages that work well in the podcast medium.  You will also learn how to record, edit, upload, and promote a podcast using freely available software.

If you attend both of the webcast sessions, create a podcast, and share the link with the class, you will be eligible for three hours of MLA continuing education credit.

To register for the class, visit http://www.tinyurl/psrclasses.  Class registration is limited, so register soon!

Please do not hesitate to contact me if you have questions.  Thank you!

Best regards,

Sharon.
