Set this folder to the public on the web – can view shared setting. Create a folder in Google Drive to put your podcasts in.
Here is how you can host your classroom podcasts for free through Google Drive: It has been working great, so I wanted to share the process. I found the support page that explained the process and read other people were having success hosting all types of files, not just websites, using this method, so I thought I would try to host my kids podcasts this way. I did some research and stumbled across some old articles announcing that Google was allowing designers to publish websites, CSS, and Java Script through Google Drive using their /host/ID feature. The one area I wasn’t sure how to do for free was the hosting of the podcasts. I didn’t want to pay for a server to host my kids podcasts, so I started to do some research and that’s when I found out Google Drive’s best kept secret: you can turn a Google Drive folder into a makeshift server! I knew I wanted to teach audio editing through podcasting and I knew Audacity was the best, free audio editing program out there. For video editing, the awesome folks a Tech Smith donated Camtasia. It was the audio piece that was tough. I also know that for the Innovation Lab to remain viable for years to come, I have to keep the cost down if it’s free, it’s for me.įor photo editing, I knew about GIMP, a free photo editing program similar to Photoshop, and the web-based Pixlr which is even built into Drive (go to Drive, then New, More, Connect more apps, Pixlr). As I was planning out our Innovation Lab, I knew I wanted my kids to experience the digital arts. Video, photo, and audio editing are important skills our kids should be familiar with.
