   Wes,
   You are awesome for sharing this! I was sharing Audacity with 2 other teachers today…they were both Science teachers wanting to integrate Audacity by means of letting their students write/record their own song/rap about genetics. We are looking forward to integrating Audacity in a number of our classrooms. We had a poetry slam today, and the top 3 poets will be recorded/podcasted by using Audacity!

   This program ROCKS! Its free, a VERY small program , and easy to use. I have students downloading it at home now, so they can edit their “homework” away from school-they enjoy doing their homework!

   Thank you so much!

   I’ve been using Audacity for a while (see link) but am venturing into students making assignments and getting qualifications from “making a report” rather than “writing a report” - because it’s activity, current and ‘real’ - guess what teh popularity of the method is!!!

   [...] I’ll post some references for the Audacity workshop once it is polished. One thing I did find when googling around is there are lots of workshop documents, sites, and handouts labeled “tutorial” or “workshop” but usually are just screenshots pointing to buttons and controls (I am using Wes Fryer’s rather than making my own).

   [...] So I am not sure if my materials are all that useful one page is mostly an outline of what we covered, the second page is a list of resources and other useful things like the Levelator. I did not have to make a handout for a reference to the software buttons and functions; I simply used Wes Freyer’s Audacity Quickstart Guide. [...]
