Yesterday I began learning the ins and outs of Audacity. Thank goodness for tutorials on the web. Otherwise, I would be forever learning this program. I still think it will take some time to become proficient with it but I'm beginning the journey! If anybody has good tips or suggestions they would be most appreciated. The first thing I did was to break the large podcast down into individual podcasts (students, my part, music). I think I will post those files since I promised to post them soon. I know the House kids want to hear their voices! Then we'll see what happens when I begin the editing process. Should be fun!
Anne, this is a BRILLIANT idea! It was fantastic to hear the kids describe, in their own words, how powerfully they've been impacted by having people from all over the world comment on their blogs.
You've long said that one of the most powerful experiences student bloggers can have comes out of the comments left by others. The kids prove your popint in their own eloquent words.
Bravo! What a great podcast!

I loved this! And not just because you all mentioned me and Chloe.
It IS all about the comments we get, isn't it!? I think my students (and me!) don't care how "good" the comment is. I just think that we really appreciate it whenever we get a comment regardless of what it is.
It makes SUCH a difference when we KNOW someone is reading our writings besides our teacher, doesn't it?!
