Podcast
Looking for Alaska - A quote from Looking for Alaska by John Green
I found this podcast a little more challenging to do. I started out by recording myself on audacity after I downloaded it. I managed to figure out how to select pieces of my recording and just press the delete button to delete out things I didn't want. I also selected some parts of my recordings and went to 'Effects' and played around with those. I thought that was pretty easy until it came time to put it onto my blog. It wouldn't upload as a video so I went to some websites to upload my recording. Audacity saves the files as .aud instead of the typical .mp3 so my recording wouldn't upload to any website. I finally went to 'File' and 'Export as Mp3' but it wouldn't let me do it without installing another free program, Lame. I installed the program and it finally worked and saved as an .mp3 file. I then went to yourlisten.com and uploaded my recording and thankfully there was a link on the website to upload to Blogger. This was definitely a little more challenging but once again, patience is the key. Hope that helped everyone out :)

Introduction
Hello! My name is Kristin Roth and I am 19 years old. I currently live in Westfield, Indiana with my parents and graduated from Westfield High School this past June. I am going to school full time and I work at Smoky Row Elementary School in Carmel. I work every morning and three days a week after school so I am constantly busy. On my free time, I enjoy hanging out with my friends and boyfriend. I moved to Indiana about five years ago from Florida, so winter is still rough for me! I am definitely not used to it yet. I plan on moving back to Florida in a few years to teach. I have a two year old niece that is in Florida and I would love to be able to be at the same school as her!
I found Blogger very simple to use. I've had to create blogs for other classes and I used LiveJournal, which I thought was a little more difficult. This site is very user friendly with the templates and other options that are available. Uploading the slideshow was the only semi-difficult task to do, but as long as you have the website (http://slideshare.net) and patiences you'll be fine! I think blogs are a great idea. For example, as a teacher you get stressed a lot so blogging is a way to vent. Also, parents love to know what is going on in the classroom. I think it is a good idea to post what you guys did each day, or maybe even just a weekly post. At my work, we try and post on Twitter as much as possible and the parents love it!
