Tonight's class was quite incredible. As someone who is very interested in Radio and podcasting I think tonight's class was, by far, my favorite! I loved the technology involved in this and can definately see applications for my classroom, as well as personal. I loved the Audacity program and would love to utilize it with my class. I know my students would love to be able to create individual podcasts then convert them into Mp3 format...I can see them burning them onto CD's or downloading them onto their Mp3 players.
I was also quite intrigued by the Robot portion of tonight's lesson. To be able to get free books from Guttenburg Library and open them in ReadPlease then having it turned into an Mp3 file through Audicity would be a super thing to do with our students at school. This is all FREE stuff folks and it has excellent potential for students with exceptionalities.
Another super night, Rick!

Tracy,
I also thought it would be great to use one of the book share libraries we have used to open a text in Read Please and then record it with Audacity to download for students. Though we don't actually assign homework in my program, I still think that the kids would really like having the opportunity to listen to books on their MP3 players, etc. And then to use Audacity to create their own newsprograms or record their own creative work would be awesome. They could take what they have done home and have their parents listen on the CD or even the DVD.
