Audio Project

A screenshot of a project being made in Audacity

For this project, I was tasked with creating a short, podcast-style audio clip to accompany the Graphics-Layout Media Project

To complement the PowerPoint training on Direct Instruction for teachers, I recorded and edited an audio clip called "Is it Direct Instruction?" The purpose of this project was to have teachers learn and apply the characteristics of Direct Instruction. The audio format worked well because a visual component was not necessary for this objective; in fact, an accompanying video or graphic may have become distracting. Instead, this project engages learners through audio alone: just narration and background music. 

Tools: Audacity, Soundcloud

Audience: Pre-service and in-service teachers with little or no familiarity with Direct Instruction

Features: Audio (voiceover, transition sounds, background music)
