Thanks for introducing another tool with Audacity, Jeremy! The recording is pretty quiet – can you increase the volume of the recording?

Great job, Jeremy! I love the idea of the students filming themselves – almost like a proof card of criteria that you might have co-constructed. I’m going to check out those links, too. 🙂

Jeremy, this is GREAT! You have given me a great resource (Audacity) to try out! I wasn’t sure where to even start – so THANK YOU! I also like the ideas that you generated in terms of how you will/do use digital tools in your classroom and that you made note of both strengths (students sharing their information) and weaknesses (such as slowing down woodwork).
