Differentiating Instruction
Audacity addresses a number of different ways that instruction can be differentiated. Some examples include:

 * Students who are primarily auditory learners would get a lot of motivation out of a program like this. I recorded audio to be paired with a presentation which has been included in the following video:
 * Students who are weak readers jump at the chance to read aloud when asked if they would like to read their lines in Audacity for a class project. Normally these students would never volunteer to read aloud. Here is an example of how you can combine Audacity with other programs to motivate students:


 * Students with fluency problems can use Audacity while reading aloud in order to self reflect on their pronunciation and intonation (FCPS.org)instead of the teacher having to point it out after the fact, this allows the student to hear exactly what the problem was instead of the teacher attempting to explain it to them.
 * Foreign language students can get particular help from Audacity, both by using the previous work mentioned on fluency as well as listening to teacher recordings of annunciation.
