Classroom+Application

There are many ways that Audacity can be applied in the classroom:
 * Application in the Classroom **
 * Have students teach a lesson to review the end of the chapter
 * Narrate a PowerPoint presentation
 * Record speeches
 * Audacity greatly supports reading development. I have many students who are not strong readers but when I told them that they could make their own audio presentation they jumped at the chance to read something. (Here is a link to a video my class and I created together for next year's students: [])
 * Record original stories
 * Record interviews for oral history projects
 * Offer audio tutorials on library related topics:Teach science lessons about waves and acousticsAllow music students to experiment with vocalization and harmonizing, without feeling self-consciousHave students create and record on self-made instrumentsHave foreign language students practice speaking and listening to themselves
 * approaches to research
 * using databases
 * effective search strategies
 * finding information in print resources
 * citation (works cited, parenthetical citation)
 * ethical use of technology (copyright, plagiarism)
 * Book reviews/ Book talks (by librarians, students and teachers)
