Whoa...time flies when you're having fun. Or as one frog said to another "Time's sure fun when you're having flies" Anyway, there's a whole bunch o' stuff we need to get to today, so let's get it done, OK?
OK, first things first, today's assignment, THAT WHICH MUST BE DONE.
As you know, I try to make all my classes as practical as possible. I also try to give you opportunities which you can make use of long after the class is over. I also try to go around any difficulties we come up against. You may have noticed that we have had some technical difficulties getting some of our shows to play. Also, we STILL do not have the ability to "stream" these shows, meaning they start playing as soon as you click on them. I would like to start fixing that. Here's what I want you to do:
1) do a Google search for "free online radio" This will bring up a startlingly HUGE number of hits. Apparently, there are a lot of people doing broadcasting out there online.
2) Pick out at least eight of these sites to investigate. Make sure you record somewhere the name of each site, plus the website address. You can do this in WORD for the time being, but whatever you do, DON'T put it in a group posting; each of you is going to make a "PAGE" NOTE: when putting the website address in to your "page", please make sure that it is a "live link", something that a person can click on and it brings them to that website.
(I will demonstrate how to do this.)
3) Your sites must include at least two different "genres", meaning they play at least two different kinds of broadcast. I haven't looked at them all, not by a long shot, so I don't know everything that's out there. See if you can find stations out there that do the stuff you've been doing, whether its sports, hard rock, gossip and celeb stuff, gaming, politics, etc etc.
4) For each one of these stations, list at least two things they do that you wish we could do, if it were possible. Make each listing in the form of a complete sentence.
Please make all this information available in a page named after yourself, plus the phrase
"What's Out There - Part One"
That oughtta do it for today. Cheers!

Mon Nov. 24: lets keep those recordings going!
Greetings one and all, children of all ages!
Today, I would like to ensure that every group has enough time in
A) the production rooms next door
B) the machines which have Adobe Audition here in the lab so that ALL groups are able to turn in
C) a complete rough draft of a new radio show for November
Please remember, today is pretty much the last day to get this done. We may be here on Wednesday (or maybe not) but that won't do much good, since the classes will be pretty short
Cheers,
Mr. L

Fri Nov 21: let's get recording!
OK, it's the last day of this week, and we only have a few days left in next week; then we get back, it's DECEMBER already! Where does the time get to? Anyway, it's time to start getting next door and get cracking on those new shows. Each group will start out with 10 minutes of studio time, so if you don't have at least that much of your script ready by now, that's what you need to be working on. As a group. While NOT playing any online games.
Those groups that are "good to go" right away need to get up to my desk to claim their fair share of studio time, and then get in there and get it done.
While your group is waiting its turn, you will also need to work on adding material to what you have ALREADY recorded next door. Come up with at least another ten minutes worth of stuff to do or talk about, and post that as a new discussion on our Google group.
Additionally, you should be brainstorming about other elements which you ALREADY know how to add, such as your intro theme song, "bumper music", your "on air identifier", your "end of the show" sound, and any other sound effects you may wish to add. If there are any changes you wish to make to any of these elements, you should let me know by posting a discussion on our group to that effect. PLEASE MAKE SURE that EVERYONE in your group has access to ALL of these separate files. When you start putting together your new broadcasts, I don't want any group held up because one of you is out sick, and no one else has the darned files!
Finally, and this is ONLY if you have time, I would like each of you as INDIVIDUALS to start thinking about what you would like the world to know about you as part of this radio station. Think about what you would most want people to know about you. Jot some ideas down, and post them. Again, this is ONLY if you have the time; if not, don't worry, we'll get to that next week
Meanwhile, I will be busy getting everyone's group logos, so that I may finally start uploading everyone's files to the website. Btw, I STILL need group logos from the following people:
Thiago Brian and Greg
Brendan F
Ben and Tyler
Cheers,
Mr. L

Wed Nov 19: finishing up from yesterday, and beginning new radio shows
Greetings, broadcasting fishes from the Noise Aquarium,
Today, I will be demonstrating to you the most updated version of the webpage which will host all of your radio programs. It will need to be updated, as only the following students have handed in the "group logo" which I asked for the other day:
Trevor, JP and Keith
Nicole
Wesley Brendan and Zach
Brendan Driscoll
For everyone else, I am still waiting. Please get those logos to me ASAP
Additionally, remember to complete all assignments from this past week, including all the research we have done on radio jobs.
MOST IMPORTANTLY, when you are done with all that, your radio groups will need to start filling out the details about what your next broadcast will be all about. You need to begin setting up at least the rough draft of a script -- ie, you need to know what you're going to say! This new November script needs to be posted as a Discussion on our Google group; the title must include all your group members names, plus the phrase "November script"
If you feel that you are ready at any time during this class to get into the Production rooms next door, then please get up to my desk and let me know

Tues Nov 18: new topics for radio broadcasts
Greetings once again,
OK, so I am very close to being able to upload at least SOME kind of a website for us, including the first complete radio programs you have made (AND your interviews, eventually). While I am putting the finishing touches on that, your group will need to discuss the topic you wish to explore in your next broadcasts. You will need to discuss, then post a discussion on our Google group which includes the following:
A) a general name for this new topic
B) five specific things you want to do or explore or talk about with this topic.
C) Any specific needs you will have, such as bringing in people outside of our class, if you feel the need for such
Please, when you make this discussion posting, include the group members names in the title, as well as the name of your radio show
Cheers,

Tues Nov 18: A typical day in radio
Greeting, airwave students,
Today, you will describe what a typical day in radio would be like. Here is what you need to do:
A) Pick out details from at least two of the jobs you've researched as a basis for what your day would be like. It would be better if the jobs were actually somewhat similar to each other, but this is not necessary: many jobs nowadays combine different elements of what used to be two or more separate jobs.
B) Imagine what your hours would be, staying within reason. In other words, different people work a lot of different hours -- I used to work at a job that was 7am to midnight Saturday and Sunday! Just don't imagine that you'll be working an hour a day...not happening!
C) Set up each hour. If part of your day is from 8am to 9am, devote at least two sentences to what happens during that hour, what you have to do, any difficulties you might face. Ditto if part of your day is from 3am to 4am.
D) part of every workday is about preparing to do something else. Be sure to discuss any preparations you might have to make.
When you are done listing everything that happens and everything you do, a brief paragraph of not less than three complete sentences should do to sum up whether or not you would want to do a job like this, or if you think that a better one could be built.
Cheers,
Mr L
PS Even when you are done, you are not done. There is no online gameplaying; this includes Yahoo fantasy football

Mon Nov 17: While I'm uploading.....PART TWO
If you have time after the first part of today's proceedings, you may begin compiling a list of questions for DJs that will --hopefully-- be able to come to our class sometime soon. Please post these questions in a discussion posting called "new improved DJ questions" on our Google group. Five new questions should suffice for now.

Mon Nov 17: While I'm uploading.....PART ONE
Greetings radio people!
Today, we are going to be working towards two separate but related goals. Well actually, YOU will be working towards them; I will be working feverishly to revamp the website and upload your files. Wanted to do that from home, but apparently, my secret decoder ring powers over the school's website only work from inside the building, not from my house:
A) Last week, we looked up different job descriptions and titles that had to do with working in radio. Now that you know some of the things that people actually do in radio, it's time to find out a little bit more about them. You will choose at least two of the jobs you found AND one job that someone else found, and for EACH JOB, discover the following information:
1) How much money does this job make?
2) What kind of training beyond high school do you have to do in order to get this job?
3) What's the job outlook for each job? In other words, are radio stations going to need more of them or less of them in the future, or about the same?
When you get this information, you will make ONE discussion post about all three of your job choices. You will title it "getting paid to do what I want"
Oh, that's right, you will need a place to find this information! How could I forget that...here's a place that may prove useful:
http://www.bls.gov/OCO/
It's the online version of the Occupational Outlook Handbook, and it's pretty simple to use. When you go there, you will see a "search box" in the top right corner, after the word FOR: Just type in the name of the job you want to find out about, and it should return at least several links. Each link should lead to a page that has several categories at the top and a lot of information. To find out what you how much you can get paid, you click on "Earnings"; to discover how much more schooling you will need, click on "Training"; to get an idea about whether this job will be around for you, click on "Job Outlook"
Cheers,
Mr. L
PS You may of course help each other, but you CANNOT be simply copying what someone else finds for you.If I see that happening, I will simply delete your posting and tell you to start over.
Also, beginning today, I will begin taking back points awarded when I see anyone engaged in playing online games, fantasy football, etc etc. That's not why you're here.

Thurs Nov 14: Happy Happy, Joy Joy!!!
Ok chilluns, before we begin, make darned sure you did BOTH assignments from yesterday. Or, you can do today's first, then get back to that stuff; whatever! As long you understand that you're responsible for all three.
OK, let's launch into this shall we?
Yesterday, I was granted extraordinary superpowers over that part of the school's website that has to do with us. The address is here:
http://www.hopkinton.k12.ma.us/whps/home.htm
You will notice that the picture, the students, the shows listed are all completely out of date. I will be working to update that, add in the names of your shows, put in links to your broadcasts, ete etc, and it will probably take a great deal of time. Here is what I want you to do in the meantime:
A) You came up with studio names and names for your shows and slogans for your programs. Start writing them down in Word, seeing which font size color etc etc you would like best
B) Decide if you want to go with photos of yourselves or perhaps some kind of avatar. On this last one, the skies the limit of course, provided its not inappropriate for school. As for myself, for many years I was known as the mightyWalrus -- its a long story -- and my symbol was a walrus and sunburst. Make something up, and have fun with it!
C) Try to set up something that combines A and B together in one package. You are fre to use any program on your computer. I place no limits on your creativity, just remember to NOT do something inappropriate.
D) If you haven't already, go over your shows and your interviews, and make sure they're ready to bge uploaded. If I find anything inappropriate that I somehow missed before now, I will make you change it anyway. Plus, there's always room for improvement.
Cheers,
Mr. L

Wed Nov 12, part two
Ok, now that you've found seven different job descriptions, I want you to create another discussion post. Call it "batting order" plus your first and last name.
In the discussion itself, I want you to rank from most favorite to least favorite the radio jobs you have found. Do this in a column, kind of like so:
1) job A
2) job B
3) job C
4) job D
5) job E
6) job F
7) job G
After each job, write up at least two complete sentences describing what it is about this job that you most like. Why is it a favorite? What about it would ever make you want to do this job? Also list any possible downsides to each job.
And, for your most favored job, add in why this job is number one for you.
Cheers,
Mr. L

Wed Nov. 12: So what's in it for me?
Greetings radio children,
In all the years I've been teaching, I have always tried to make my classes as "real world" as possible. Today, I want you to imagine this: that you have been so inspired by my magnificent classes that you decide that you are going to "break into" radio. In other words, you'll get paid to do what you're doing now for free.
Or will you? As you might have guessed, there are more jobs in radio than just sitting behind the microphone. So let's look at some of what goes on then -- besides everything else, when we FINALLY get some DJs in here, you'll probably have better questions to ask them.
(BTW, IF YOU STILL NEED TO COMPLETE YOUR INTERVIEWS, PLEASE DO SO. THIS ASSIGNMENT DOES NOT EXCUSE YOU FROM THAT.) ***
OK, so here we go:
STEP1 Identify at least seven different types of jobs that actually have anything to do with working in radio. Now, you could get a book out of a library or from guidance on what those jobs are. Or you could go where they place ads to get people to work at a radio station. Here are some places where you can find out some actual jobs:
http://www.bestradiojobs.com/
this site has a search feature underneath "Find Full or Part Time Work" where you set the "Job Type" to Radio Positions, then hit find. You'll get tons of ads, each with a position offered.
http://www.careerpage.org/search.php
this site also has a search feature, but they've got the job titles set up in a convenient little pull down menu
http://www.airtalents.com/
http://www.cpb.org/jobline/
http://www.massmediajobs.com/
http://www.amfmjobs.com/
http://msi.amfmjobs.com/quick.html
this link has a search feature where you can type in the "call letters" and find out the employment info for any radio station in America
http://www.npr.org/about/jobs/index.html
As you find the name of a job AND find out a little bit about what that job is all about (about a sentence or two for each job), you might want to start writing this stuff down, along with the address of the webpage where you found this information. When you've got all seven done, please post a discussion to our Google group. Title it after yourself, plus the words "radio jobs I've found"
When that's setup, I will post the next blog posting about the next step I want you to take
Cheers,
Mr. L

Fri Nov 7: Are you on the list?
Greetings all you chirpy happy radio people!
This week, some of you have been conducting interviews. I have gathered all the interviews that I have found --this means the ones that you uploaded to Box.net -- and I have put them all in a folder. Please check here to make sure that your interview has been found. If it's not in there I'm assuming that you haven't done yours yet.
Here is the folder address:

Thurs Nov 6: please finish up everything from yesterday!
That's it. That's all there is too it. There's nothing else to say. Get your interviews recorded: remember EACH ONE OF YOU has to do at least two interviews where YOU are asking the questions. This also means that YOU were EACH supposed to set up interview questions in a Discussion posting.
Additionally, please let me know if any of your DJs have responded to your emails from this past Monday.
Cheers,
Mr. L
PS Your interviews are NOT group projects! EACH ONE OF YOU MUST INTERVIEW AT LEAST TWO OF YOUR CLASSMATES!
PPS Some of you have STILL not posted as a discussion the email you want to send to your DJ. This needs to get done

WEDS Nov. 5: Interviews and Q & A
Greetings all you magnificent people! Today we will be doing two different things that are closely related:
A) The interviews you set up last week will actually be conducted starting today. That means some of you will be heading next door to conduct these interviews. Remember that you will be able to bring up your interview questions on screen if you know where you posted them in our Google group.
B) While you are waiting your turn to get next door, each of you will be picking out one of the DJs you were in contact with last month, and asking them if there is any possibility that they might be able to "swing by" our classroom for a little Q & A session. Let them know that your teacher/instructor/all around good guy will have to get permission first, but that he anticipates that the school will say yes. please Please PLEASE make sure to post as a discussion in our Google group what you are going to say in your email, and which DJ you are sending this request to. I need to review them BEFORE you send them out! Please title this discussion post after yourself plus the phrase "which DJ I am inviting"
Cheers, Mr. L
PS If some of you find yourself waiting to get next door, we have some small digital audio recorders which supposedly can be hooked up directly to the computers. No, I'm not really sure how they work, but won't it be fun to find out?
A) The interviews you set up last week will actually be conducted starting today. That means some of you will be heading next door to conduct these interviews. Remember that you will be able to bring up your interview questions on screen if you know where you posted them in our Google group.
