Audio

​AUDIO

Podcasts: Podcasts are audio or video broadcasts of digital media files downloaded from the Internet to computers and MP3 players for rebroadcast.

You will be creating your first podcast and posting it on your wiki. You will be using audacity to record your podcast. Ideas for future lessons:


 * Build fluency by recording a reading passage and keeping track of timing until an acceptable fluency is reached.
 * Presentations on topics can take advantage of the editing resources on audio software to enhance their presentation by adding sound effects and manipulating voice levels and intonations in order to produce more professional broadcasts.

MP3 players: allow students to work on projects individually or at home. An MP3 player's portability allows for more flexibility on where the student works. Many audiobooks are available for downloading and can be downloaded to an MP3 player. MP3 is just a compression format for the storage of digital audio data.

Ideas for future lessons:


 * Use audiobooks in reading centers or for after-school book clubs.
 * Students can follow along with audiobooks using a hard copy of the book.
 * The whole class can listen to an audiobook and follow up with a class discussion or group instruction on a comprehension skill
