I am excited about my sixth grade class that is working on their podcasts. They are going to record readers theater selections. We already practiced using Audacity and it was great to watch them listen to themselves. I think they will all improve their readings and practice so that their theater recording will be better and better. They are working on sound effects over the weekend. I will see Tuesday what they have come up with.
Now that I have seen Audacity used by students, I can see so many ways it can enhance reading and writing. Younger (and older) students could write and record their own stories to be played for the class. They can hear what they sound like when they read. They can practice for fluency. I think it will be very motivational. I wonder if there is an app for audacity?
