Ways to create own media

Creating own media:
Creating your own media can be more time consuming but will be more linked or structured around your needs.  Ways of creating your own data include video, audio, or presentations. 

Instructions to create podcast: need download Audacity and MP3 Encoder.  Use plug ins option to extract the file.  Then record, cut, paste, remove noise, normalize, export and tag it.  http://www.podango.com/  can be used to upload and distribute the files.  http://www.easypodcast.com/  can be used to distribute.  Or, http://www.podcast.com/ can be used to record, publish and upload a file.
Other content creation options:
http://www.prezi.com/: account is free. Click on create to start new project. Double Click on screen to add text.  If click once will get Zebra which allows you to move, enlarge or shrink image, or rotate image.  The plus sign on the zebra provides more options.  At top left of screen is menu bubble to allow to insert image.  Click image to get the zebra.  Bubble also allows you to select the path or order of showing.  Click path and then click on images or text in order wish to show.  To add video, copy url and double click on prezi screen to add url. 
http://www.jingproject.com/: free download provides you with sun icon which allows you to capture an image on your screen, add history, and more includes help, done, and setup.  Make sure setup is on SWF for video type.  After capture image, in bottom left add file name to save as.
Things to remember when making a video: make it simple and to the point, in small segments, include instructor in picture, prepare script and other equip needed ahead of time, preview for sound, light, and picture quality.
