Audacity


Audacity is a free, open-source software program that I use in my classroom for sound recording. It can be used to record from a microphone, dub over existing tracks, monitor volume levels, edit and mix a number of tracks, and remove many types of background noises. There are many other features as well. This program was developed by a group of volunteers and distributed under the GNU General Public License (GPL).

Jill Baedke, a fellow Google Certified Teacher, has created an Audacity Video Tutorial that is incredibly helpful.

If you are considering or already using podcasting or digital storytelling in your classroom, I highly recommend using Audacity for sound recording.
