Tech Tool Link: Audacity (Audio Recording Software)
This is such a great website for teachers to edit their voice recordings and eliminate and unwanted or distracting material. This website can also be used for the editing of recordings that can be used for professional and/or teaching purposes.
Summary and Conclusion: The use of multimedia technology for teaching and learning purposes is probably one of the most effective ways to capture the student's attention towards the topic being taught. I believe that teachers should receive a training on how to use multimedia; and therefore, making teaching an easier job for teachers by joining in with the students' relative media.

ReplyDeleteAudacity is a fantastic (and easy to use) tool - perhaps you will want to incorporate it in your digital storytelling next week! ;) And you provided some good examples for its use.
For future posts, be sure to check out the rubric and provide more depth and detail in your writing, especially the summary - how does it connect to your role as a future teacher? What direct connections can you make? Be specific!
