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!
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!!!
Greetings,
Thanks for the Audacity handout! We provide training on Audacity and podcasting to K12 educators and have produced a series of free narrated multimedia tutorials that we use in our training. They are available to anyone on our web site at GuidesandTutorials.com. See the following:
