This page is about how to use audio tool to create a podcast that has special effects and make great impression on the listeners. In my podcast, I use Audacity to record a short introduction about my personal background and my teaching philosophy, along with some self-choice background music. The podcast is in MP3 format, so it is easy to download to any device and open it. I think Audacity is a great tool for students to create their own audio piece and play around with music. It might also stimulate auditory learners' interest and make them engage in learning and the assignment project more. There are many ways that I can use Audacity in my classroom. I can use it to create some audio files and include them in a PowePoint for teaching or presentation, or I can ask students to do an interview project via Audacity to test their language proficiency level and other skills, and save them as part of their online learning portfolios, or I can simply ask students to analyze some music and develop their creativity.
