Wrapping and Waving

I knew that I needed to find a way to share what I found out that included audio and maybe also video. This is how I got hung up on technology. I didn’t get as carried away as I could have, though. Annette hipped me to a program called Audacious that lets regular folks like myself edit audio. I also had to look into the guidelines of Fair Use in audio. Annette also helped me there, and I felt a little silly that I hadn’t remembered the resource she sent me to. That resource led me to decide to use Powerpoint, since putting other people’s music, even in short clips, might not be ok online. Also, I knew that Powerpoint would let me insert media as needed. There was a learning curve with Audacious that cost me some time, but it was worth it. It is a pretty cool program and I can see other applications for it. Also, I am pretty sure that no one but my five-year-old wants to hear me yodel.
I think my audience is just my class and my family. I do think that this would be a good way to show my future students about inquiry, too, though, so I will certainly save it.
