Today has been frustrating. Although we have learned a lot about the exhibit, the technology tools we have are not as, well, advanced as they should be in order to accomplish a task like this in a reasonable time period. In addition, the wireless Internet we have has not been working and this has really hindered us.

Despite all the difficulties, we are seeing some of the tasks getting done and we can see how this may eventually come together. However, I can't see that a PodCast or any other technology could replace the experience of learning the same material from an actual curator, who is an expert on the subject. If you are reading this, be sure to stop in at the museum itself so you can see the real thing and see the exhibits in person - the photos cannot do justice to the real thing!

You guys are doing great! You really came together as a team and that has really worked to your advantage. Once the recording is done, things will really fall into place. Hang in there....

Well, I did it! I was able to edit with audacity!!!! The day started out a bit crazy with our technical difficulties, but I feel that we weathered it without too much damage. I'm looking forward to putting the photos with the sound tomorrow. Things are shaping up to a managable level now. Thank you so much Al and Tammy for your patience and advice!

Good point! Podcasts are great and are a good way to provide introductory material and supplementary material to enrich an exhibit but nothing replaces the real thing and live programming. Sadly live programs aren't always possible but seeing "real stuff" is and that is another place where a podcast can shine, giving more detail on the "things" of an exhibit. It helps with the "wow, I never knew that" factor. You guys are doing very well. Keep up the good work!
