Script:
Welcome everyone to my first podcast, on July 7th 2010. I’m your host, Courtney. I’m currently a junior at St. Mary’s College in Indiana, where I am a English Literature and Communications major with a film studies minor.  and the title of today’s show is “protect our beach” , a movement born through social media.

Erin started for her family, lived at the beach her whole life, raising two young kids here, hated the idea of oil coming to our beach, needed to do something.

She really didn’t do much to start the group, within two weeks she had over 100 followers, had an event organized.

Used conventional methods, contacted city halls, updated people on social media, combined.

Was able to organize her event using conventional and social media methods, not even a week beforehand, contacted businesses, happy to help.

Talking to people in person and using social media, able to make it a success.

By combining it, she was able to make it a success, would not have been able to make it a success if she used social media alone.

Combined to make super movement to reach anyone, even people who don’t use the internet, and people who are very active on the internet.

Able to create this wonderful way for people to get together in the community, collaborate.

Thanks to everyone for tuning in, and thanks to all the Creative Commons artists who lent their work.

REFLECTIONS:
With this project I feel like I was able to better take advantage of mindmapping, since this project was looser than the last, and I wasn't quite sure where I was going with it. I wanted to say things that I really couldn't fit into my plain screen cast, and able to better able to express myself through audio.

I really enjoyed this process, because honestly I have always wondered how to use GarageBand and always been too lazy to really learn it. So this was a great project for me, and something I'm sure I will use in the future. GarageBand was so easy to use, it was a cinch once I took the time to really read the "How to" that was up on the Comm website.
