Student Podcasting Startup Materials 


Content Proposal


Branding: 

  • Graphics and branding.  Talk about color selection, logo design and show art.  Show some basic Canva skills.  Emphasize that this is the last step before getting into a studio to record.  Also get shared folders set up.  Teacher first must create a main class folder in Google Drive with Edit access.  Then, students make a subfolder for their podcast.  The folder is titled with their podcast show name  Within that, they must also create subfolders for each of their episodes, called Episode 1, Episode 2, etc.  Make them show folders before they move on.
