I checked out your blog (http://www.technologyinteaching.co.uk/blog/)and will take a listen to the podcast. My daughter and I were enjoying playing around with being movie makers at http://www.xtranormal.com/. I am going to take a good look at this. It could be a really neat way for my students to do their talk show projects. Thanks again for visiting, Jane @Chris Best, Thank you for the comment.

Well done to your student! I understand the amount of time that can go into "little" projects like this. It's the finished products such as this that make the whole, sometime arduous process all worth the while! Very inspiring work! Well done to your student!

So more people can hear Nathan's "dulcet" tones (his words), and of course hear your words of wisdom Jane. Cheers, Lee BTW I am going to recommend your podcast/blog on our division’s Ning network.

My high school career was as mild as can be. @Jane Smith, I’m sure Lee wouldn’t have any good stories or embarrassing photos to share. My high school career was as mild as can be.

Adrianna recorded and edited her piece during our silent reading time of the day. It probably took her about 3 periods, or an hour to do it. It was pretty complicated work though. Most of the time the students record, take out a few flubs, and slap some music onto the ends. The longest time is spent finding the "perfect" music or sound effect. Sometimes I take a period a week and have everyone work on podcasting, either writing scripts, rehearsing, recording or editing. It gets a bit hectic! The students pick up how Audacity works very quickly. P. S. I hear that you and Nathan went to the same high school. Any good stories or embarrassing photos? @leewin, I will pass on your message to Adrianna.

It was really well done! I loved her choice of music, the title for her show, and the expression she used in her voice. Jane, how much time is given to your students to work with Audacity to record their work? Cheers! Lee Winik Kudos to Adrianna for the work she put into this project! It was really well done!
