Audio Tools

Audacity is a tool that I have had in my toolkits for a couple of years. While I use it occasionally, I tend to set my students loose on it much more frequently. Uses include an interview tool, oral response and most recently to have elementary aged children reading books. The book reading is serving two purposes: a digital repository of books for "listening to reading" and a part of that child's e-portfolio. (If you work in PWSD, Audacity is supported software)


I will say that alongside Audacity I also use other free web 2.0 tools for audio. Some that I have found success with have been:
