My Podcast Story

This will sound a little like a rant, ok maybe a lot. No matter how frustrating the technology part of this interview assignment was, overall I enjoyed the experience and learned a lot about technology and myself in the process!

  

                          

  While my interview experience was amazing and editing my video went fairly quickly, uploading my video to YouTube was extremely time consuming! I went through what I am sure many people go through. Everything is going fine, you are ready to upload, it is supposed to be quick and easy, right? Wrong! My video seemed hopelessly stuck in my iPad. I did everything right, but it would not let me sign into YouTube. When I tried it from the YouTube side, the message I received was that my video was not compatible with YouTube. Grrrrrrr! So I exported my video from iMovie to my camera roll in hopes of importing on my laptop. Once again, not a smooth process. Finally, I was able to upload my video to YouTube. The time indicator said 30 min, but after my experience, I knew better than to trust it! It took over an hour but it happened and I am proud that I stuck it out!

 

  The moral of my story is that even though I was frustrated and it took waaaaaay longer than I anticipated, my project was completed and I did not give up. I learned quite a few things along the way that I am sure I will pass along to my students some day. Until then, I will probably attempt posting more videos to YouTube, to perfect the processes!
