Making audio recordings of your students is a great way to encourage them to do their best as well as involve them in the assessment process. Recordings can also be shared with students, parents, and community. This session will demonstrate how to make great-sounding recordings using a computer and GarageBand or Audacity software. Teachers will also learn about about mic placement, editing, multitrack recording, effects, and how to turn recordings into CD's, mp3's, and podcasts for web use.
