Our aim is to give you sustainable skills to get your messages across in the exciting world of new media. All of these tools are free to use on the internet so you do not need big budgets to start incorporating social media tools into your existing websites!

Courses include:

• Podcasting for beginners (planning, recording, editing & uploading)
• Web 2.0 masterclass (create a social network, blog, podcast feed)
• Video blogging (film, edit and uploading)
• Advanced Audio Training (make more sophisticated features for podcasting)

The key to using these tools well is to have fun and be yourself. People are interested in the real person behind the story or organisation and won't want to hear a formal and slickly prepared production!

Jason Van Orden is an American guy who talks about literally everything you need to know about podcasting and how to get started. He's great - very clear and helpful. Click here for his 'how to podcast' tutorial.

To record sound: I recommend Olympus recorders as a cheap and cheerful way to get started. They record in 'wma' format but you can easily convert these files into an mp3 using a free converter like jodix.

To buy an Olympus recorder online, click here
Buy a good microphone though as the Olympus inbuilt mic isn't great (it's more of a dictaphone). To buy a decent sony mic click here

I recommend searching online for the cheapest places to buy the kit first - for example you can get some great bargains on ebay.

To edit sound: Use audacity editing software to get you started. It's free and easy to use. Download it here: http://audacity.sourceforge.net/
Jason Van Orden does a really good online tutorial - click here. If you can use microsoft word, you can use audacity - just think 'copy, cut, paste' etc.

To upload a podcast: Use www.switchpod.com - it's as easy as setting up an email address and it's free! It will host your podcast and create a 'feed' which people can subscribe to. This means whenever you update your podcast, your subscriber will automatically get your latest episode.
