It is fun to create podcast using Audacity. But it took me a lot of time to edit the tracks. Here is the link of my first postcast assignment.
Due to some technical difficulties I have decided to change my project setting from the online class to a traditional classroom. I contacted a teacher of the Mid-Jersey Chinese School. It is a heritage Chinese school. That says the students are the second generation Chinese – what we call ABC (America Born Chinese). The class meets every Saturday morning for two hours (9:30 ~ 11:30). The teacher is teaching Practical Chinese 7. There are 13 students, 7 boys and 6 girls, age from 12 to 16. I went to the class during the weekend to discuss the project with the teacher. She like the idea and is interested in the Windows Movie Maker. We will probably let students use Windows Movie Maker to create an instructional video about Chinese language. I will be going to the class again next Saturday and finalize the project.
