Podcast

The podcast that I created was recorded originally on audacity. Audacity can be downloaded for free from the internet onto your computer. It allows you to record sound and manipulate it afterwards. I chose to record my 5th grade younger brother reading one of his on-level school books. This to me, demonstrated the importance of technology in education. In order to make this voice clip accessible for this wiki, I imported the sound file into moviemaker, added a title page, and uploaded it to youtube. media type="youtube" key="ZyHxUmvmhhE" width="425" height="350" align="center"

__**Integration of Podcasts/Audacity:**__ Using Audacity within your classroom can be very beneficial for both the teacher as well as the student. The teacher could use audacity when working with children. The instructor could record a child reading, as I did, and have the file to reflect back on, to take notes, to show to parents, or to have for the students to access and listen to. Other ways we can use Audacity in the classroom would be for children to record themselves demonstrating their understanding of different unit concepts.
