Podcasts

Last week I had a roller coaster ride with technology. I was super excited about trying to make a podcast with my students. I decided to start with one reading group. I had each student in the group read two pages of the story we were working on and recorded their reading. I had downloaded Audacity to my computer so after I recorded my students I got them on to Audacity and I was so excited! I started to play it back to the students and was disappointed because all of the voices started talking at once instead of one after another like I wanted. During a break I played around with it and figured out how to cut and paste the recordings. It sounded like my kids were reading the book and I was so excited! I called my media specialist over to show off my work and we were both very excited. Then after school I invited my principal to come listen to it and I couldn't get the audio to work. I was so disappointed. I haven't been back at my computer for awhile now to work on it, but if anyone knows what I'm doing wrong I would appreciate suggestions! =)
