How do I burn audio onto a CD?
Here’s a question from one of our participants. Jane and I will be sure to get an answer up soon – maybe someone out there would like to leave a comment as well?
Hi folks. Maybe someone can help me. My students have recorded themselves reading a picture book using the digital recorder you provided us (thank you for all of the wonderful equipment by the way – side note). I plug the digital recorder into our computer and we listen and all is great…we are listening through the windows media player. Now the problem is, we are trying to put these “stories” onto cd’s to leave in our library as a listening centre for younger readers. It will not burn onto cd for me and I have tried a variety. I have also used the little laptop you provided us and they recorded using audacity. Can anyone help the “technologically challenged” as myself on how do I get all of this onto cd’s?
Thanks – Janine from MES

Hey guess what everybody? One of my grade 5 students figured out how to solve it and taught me today. I am very excited to report that we have successfully burned one cd of a student reading a picture book. My grade 5’s are leaving to middle school and they are loving this idea of leaving behind a “legacy” for future students. Thank you again to Nathan and Jane for the informative workshops and I am happy to report that my classroom has become technologically advanced. Thank you for all the equipment as it has truly simplified our classroom life and enriched our learning!

@janine guillot, Glad to hear you found a solution. If you get a chance, can you share what it was – I’m sure others are as curious as I am.
Our board computers have an CD/DVD program that you probably have to install first. Find it on the installer folder.
