Audacity Guidelines and Planning for ALL ABOUT ME PPT

Audacity Introduction and Reflection Questions Overview: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5.

What is Audacity? What are advantages of Audacity? What are some of the main uses for Audacity? How to access Audacity? After completion of the demonstration and guided practice, what is your opinion of Audacity? Is it a good use of freeware application?

Audacity Activity: Use this for your All About Me Project: Things to remember:        

Save the lame_enc.dll file to your student drive from Edmodo so that you can export and save the files. We do not want to save it as an Audacity File since they are very large in size. Have your headset adjusted and your paper ready to read into Audacity. Click on start …. Then pause 3-4 seconds and begin reading your bio…. Then pause 3-4 seconds again and click on the stop button. If you have done it right you will see part of the screen moving and a blue sound wave pattern appearing as you talk (also notice the Microphone Volume Gauge) When done, play it back to check out the recording. If happy go onto the next step. Click on the File Menu then choose Export as a WAV file. This is the method for saving. Then you will save it in your Documents Folder (the same place you put the lame_enc.dll file earlier.) You should be able to save it to a NEW FOLDER: ALL ABOUT ME.

After practicing with the given steps above you are to record a student biography about yourself that will be used in your presentation. You may re-record numerous times until they have mastered the use of the software. Once you feel comfortable with their recording, export it as instructed above in order to save it. The recording needs to coincide with your PPT about yourself. You may record in sessions or in an entirety. Remember you will also be using music audio and clip art audio as well. Pay close attention to your length and have proper pausing, voice inflections, and speed. Planning Sheets:
