What to turn in - One person must turn in the following

  • MP3 of the final edited podcast

  • Artwork for the podcast (must be 600 x 600 pixels)

  • Write up for the podcast (this is different than the script)

  • The script must be shared with me (you do not have to turn it in through Edmodo)
