A) you are going to create another "page" in our discussion group. This one must be named after yourself, plus the phrase "we can do online broadcasting"
B) As you may have guessed from the title, today you are going to explore the possibilities of being able to create your own broadcasts using some other venue besides the school. There's two reasons for this: 1) we might be waiting quite awhile before the school gets us set up to do "streaming mp3s", which is the stuff you could listen to on those stations you looked at yesterday 2) Long after you're out of this class, I want you to still be able to broadcast if you so choose. I'm a big advocate of free speech, and I don't think it should be limited to groups with lots of money and equipment like the school has!
C) you will be doing a Google search for "free online radio broadcasting"
http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=free+online+radio+broadcasting&aq=4&oq=free+online+radio
D) You will locate at least five online broadcasting places which have at LEAST these features:
- its completely free -- what can I tell you, I'm cheap. Besides do YOu have money to burn?
- it allows you to broadcast some sort of radio show without lots of special (and expensive) hardware or other equipment
- it doesn't require a credit card -- even when something's free, sometimes they want a card number, go figure!
- it allows you to do it from any computer you want; in other words, we're not limited to the equipment we have here at school
- Hopefully, there's no software to download and install
E) In your "page", list the website addresses AND the names of each of these five websites
F) for each of these websites, write one paragraph of at least two to three complete sentences explaining how the site is supposed to work, how you sign up for it, what you can and cannot do with it, etc etc.
G) Finally, recommend at least one of these sites as the best you've found
Cheers,
Mr. L
