Podcasting

Recently I saw a Google Maps Mania post about the Google Maps Voice Recorder, so I decided to try it out as my podcasting assignment for Blue 2.0. The voice recorder allows you to record your voice and associate it with a marker on the map. There’s a demo site at The Google Maps Voice Recorder

Just search for your site on their Google map, place the pin, click the “Call in Audio” button and a phone number and PIN number pop up. Call the number and enter the PIN number. After a short audio advertisement you're prompted to record some audio about that map marker. I chose the King Library Addition as my place and recorded a brief description of the Geology Library/Map Collection. Click here to check it out. Just click on the marker to get the prompt to play the audio.
