Through out the school year, we learned how to use many different types of software. The first type we use was Audacity which is a free download if you google it. Audacity allowed us to record our voices and/or edit songs to make them the way we wanted them or even to avoid copyright.

The first project we did with audacity was writing and recording our own stories. My story was about two girls who embark on a jungle adventure. I added sounds and background music to my story and made sure to put the credits at the end. Here is the my story titled,"Jungle Attack."

Instead of doing a book trailer with audacity, our class decided to try out green screening. We picked a video that we wanted to talk about and made it a news story. We acted as the reporter of the story while being videotaped. Afterward we put the video on imovie along with the video we talked about and a background picture to make it look real. It was a really neat project to do. Here's my news story on a very bizarre car accident in winter.

The next project we did, we went back to using audacity and the iPods with mics to record students on a topic we picked. I chose to ask students of all ages what they would do if they were a millionaire.The question I asked was, " If you inherited money and became a millionaire, what would you do?" I got some pretty interesting responses. Listen here and check it out yourself.
