Audacity

Here is my Audacity project. 
This was a vey time consuming and stressful activity.  Every program I used to complete this activty was new for me.  When I finished this project, I was so relieved.
I downloaded music to use for my project and imported the audio into Audacity.  I then edited each track down to 10-15 seconds.  I recorded my narrative and moved the tracks around to complement the story.  I adjusted the volume of the music and my voice and also used effects like fading in and fading out music.  It took me days and days to edit my project.  When I finished, I exported my project as an MP3 using LAME encoder.  I created an account with Podbean and published my podcast there.  Finally I embedded my project into my blog.
This would be neat to use in the classroom, especially if students used Audacity to share their music history.  That would be something I think they would enjoy sharing and others would enjoy hearing.  My only concern would be the difficulty of the task. 
The standards addressed would be #1 Facilitate and Inspire Student Learning and Creativity and #2 Design and Develop Digital-Age Learning Experiences and Assessments.  Creating an Audacity project would be a great way to promote, support, and model creative thinking.  Teachers would design learning experiences that incorporate digital tools.  The learning activity would be personalized and address diverse learning styles.
