Day 1: Podcasting with Audacity

One of the Day 1 sessions is about using Audacity to create podcasts. You can see examples of podcasts here. Here are some links to web sites where you can learn more about Audacity. And here are links to Web sites when you can download music loops to use in your podcasts. These music loops are in the public domain, so you won't violate copyright.
In this session, you will use the audio-editing program Audacity to create a podcast containing an interview, music, and sound effects.

Mini Camp Evaluation

It's the final day of our fall Mini Technology Camp. Twenty PESD teachers are discovering new ways to integrate the use of technology into their lesson plans. It's been a great camp. In order to improve our delivery and plan for future technology professional development activities, we ask campers to click on this URL: http://www.surveygizmo.com/s/66622/instructional-technology-mini-tech-camp-evaluation-form to complete the evaluation form and to suggest topics for future camps.

Campers can visit Linda Cooper's blog at: http://pesdinstructionaltech.blogspot.com for a list of blogs posted by PESD teachers and staff.
