Create your own web site inside your Web Documents folder.
Your web site has to consist of:
-
A personal web page showing your basic personal information, interests, skills, academic and work experience. The idea here is to set up your own “Curriculum Vitae” or formal personal profile page online. This should be your main page, with links to your blog and podcasts/photo album. (1 point for contents, 2 for working links; 3 points in total)
-
A personal blog. Informal, four entries minimum (1 point). Each entry should include a multimedia element, such as photos, audio, or movies (1 point), and at least one web widget (1 point; 3 points in total).
-
Include the previous podcast project in your web site. Alternatively, you may create a photo album page with original photos taken by yourself (1 point).
The duration of this project is two weeks/six lessons.
Please refer to the iWeb Links post for more information and tutorials on how to create a web site with iWeb ‘08.
For curriculum vitae formats, examples, and content guidelines, check the following links:

If you’re new to the MLA format to refer to sources of information, try the free online services
They’ll help you ensure that your bibliography/works cited list is in the correct format. Just fill in the information you know about the source, they help you with the rest.
For more detailed information check these resources from
-
The Monroe Community College Guide to Writing Research Papers – MLA style section (great concise reference – a must check!)
-
MLA Formatting and Style Guide – The OWL at Purdue
-
MLA Citation Style @ the Cornell University Library
-
Dallas County Community College
- Northland Community and Technical College
I have also found a very interesting blog about information literacy called BiblioTech Web.

What are podcasts?
Tutorials on how to make podcasts with Apple Garageband
Tips on creating podcasts
Free Audio recording software (for Windows)
- http://www.goodkatshare.com/?page_id=26
- http://www.nbxsoft.com/sound-recorder.php
- http://www.audio-tool.net/audio_recorder_for_free.html
Non-Free Audio recording software (for Windows)
- Podcast Maker
- Music Maker (similar to Garageband)
- Music Studio (professional audio & music production)
- You will also find similar software by Sony (Acid = Music Maker, Sound Forge = Music Studio)
Example of a podcast, notice how the beginning (first 30 seconds) include information such as:
- The podcast title
- Episode number
- Date
- Place
- Author
- Web address (URL)
- Jingle (music/musical theme)

More examples of podcasts here:
- http://www.geekbrief.tv/ is a very good example of a brief, fresh and interesting approach on (video) podcast news
- http://www.stephenfry.com/media/ there is a special “Audio” section with podcasts that you may want to check, in addition to the other media
