They could use the voice thread or record their voice in audacity (free) and post their thoughts as an uploaded file in Moodle (also free).
That is an excellent idea BTW... I am going to use it!
ry rhymes and limericks and produce a cd of them reading aloud to match their their reading. They will compile the different students' work, and place copies of the finished book and cd-rom at the local women's shelter and Ronald McDonald House. For many of these students, it was a first "read"!
Audacity and Levelator were both accessible to this teacher, although her having time to do post-production is proving problematical. I find having a teacher "buy in" to the finished product is the best motivator!…
Hi Scott,
Great work on the PPS version of "Forever Young" - I'm still working out how to use "Audacity" and pocasting. How do you get time for sport, PE and music?
Check out the Chris Craft audio interview I put on the front page--lower left side where the new audio feature is. Latin and Spanish students in middle school using Audacity and Skype. :)

How did this work out? I've had the same issue with other programs, and had to tweak the output settings for audacity. I can dig into it with you and figure it out if you haven't solved it. :)
Audacity for audio is a great, free editing tool. For editing video, I think Windows Movie Maker is a little clunky. I got a copy of Sony Vegas Studio with an educational discount for about $50.
