Audacity quickstart guide

posted in podcasting |

I created a very simple, two page PDF “Quickstart Guide to Audacity” for my podcasting workshop last night. I continue to tweak the online curriculum for that workshop each time I teach it: It remains online (and free to anyone) at http://teachdigital.pbwiki.com/podcasting.

I love Audacity because it is free, cross-platform, simple to use, exports directly to MP3, and is very powerful! :-)

    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!

    [...] Audacity Tutorial for Podcasters December 5th, 2006 by Anna I know that many of us, use the free resource of Audacity to produce our podcasts, here is an excellent tutorial for anyone new to the podcasting world.

    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. [...]
