FRIENDLY WARNINGS!

You should NOT…

  1. Assign students to make podcasts “just because”
  2. Assume the students already know about podcasts
  3. Make students produce their first podcast all alone
  4. Worry much about the equipment
  5. Ignore the recording environment
  6. Overplan / over-prepare the first episode
  7. Grade the first podcasts on quality of audio / genre
