Do Now 5/16/11

On my computer, I keep related photos, music and documents in separate folders. School work such as essays and projects would be kept in the "School documents" folder.

People create podcasts to promote their business,to make money or to share their ideas and beliefs. I personally do not have any experience with podcasting. Some Tools such as Audacity, a software to to record your own audio file, can really be helpful in creating a podcast. I would create a podcast for current things in fashion and celebrity gossip.
