Audacity

After downloading and learning features of podcasting, I have observed that by using Audacity in a classroom setting, students can learn about their speaking talents. Whether you have them use this program in the classroom or outside of the classroom, they can practice for a presentation by simply podcasting through Audacity. Once they have recorded themselves, they can play back what they have spoken to see what improvements should be made before standing in front of a class full of peers. This is a great program (especially since it is free).
