Week+Five+Audio

This week is all about audio and making and messing about with audio recordings that you can embed into spaces such as your blog or a wiki or the like. Your task is to record some audio and [|add it to your blog]. As you create your audio you might like to think about why and where you might like to use audio recording in the classroom. Perhaps the best free audio tool that you can use on a PC is Audacity, (if you own a Mac you can also use Audacity but you may choose to use Garage Band because of the music loops etc that Garage Band has built in).

An online option that you should have a look at is AudioBoo which allows you to quickly and easily record audio that can be shared on a blog etc. There are also a [|range of apps], (including Audioboo), that can be used on iDevices and other smartphones.  Perhaps the easiest way to record audio is [|Recordmp3] and still more options can be found at [|9 Great Audio Editing Tools for Teachers] which includes Audacity.  You may also like to add other than voice to your recordings by way of sound loops such as sound effects or music. [|Soundcloud] is an audio platform that enables sound creators to upload, record, promote and share their originally-created sounds. Check out the Mashable [|Beginner's Guide to SoundCloud]
