The Edelman Digital Bootcamp was an enjoyable experience.
Many thanks to all of the very kind people at UGA for hosting my students and many others from various colleges and universities around the southeast. UGA’s Kaye Sweetser (so this is mass communication?) and Karen Russell (Teaching PR) had their students in top form putting on this conference. Also, thanks to Phil Gomes, Erin Caldwell and the many Edelman PR pros that came all the way down to help us all.
I took seven Auburn students and I’m thinking they had a pretty good experience, too.
The UGA students did a wonderful job putting on the project. Didn’t see a glitch or hiccup in the whole day’s events. Congrats!
During the conference, class activities for students were discussed. Podcasting (both video & audio) was one such experiential activity. The video and audio below are examples I created yesterday.
First, the video was recorded with an inexpensive video camera from Flip Video and features UGA PR student Jenny Reid.
Second, there are two audio podcasts using Utterz. I like their easy-to-use podcasting service.
Utterz is a simple free process which allows you to call a number (1-712-432-6666) to make a recording. Your account recognizes your phone number and posts your recording to your account. You may also send videos and photos to your account by emailing them to go@utterz.com.
To see the three examples of podcasts (2 audio, 1 video), check out the rest of the post …
Here is a simple Utterz audio player. They offer different options to embed or link to the audio/video files. This is the interview with UGA student Jenny Reid. Visit Utterz.com to see/hear the audio with video attached. This audio is with UGA student Jenny Reid.
And, finally, this is the Utter with educators and a photo attached.
