2.32. Technology - Recording

It's the second season of the More and More Every Day Podcast. Join us every day for short (10 minute) episodes to talk all things oral history and challenge yourself with a daily oral history prompt.

Today's prompt: reflect on those questions, but make a plan going forward. Grab your notebook and a pen, and write your answers to these questions: 

1. What kind of recording (audio or video) works best for your purposes and why? 
2. What kind of recording technology do you already have access to for your purposes? 
3. What additional technology would you like access to and why?
4. Who do you need to reach out to for coordination, collaboration, training, or resources? 
5. What kind of storage will you need for the recordings you plan to create?
