Primary teacher and ICT co-ordinator Chris Thomas gives a step by step demonstration of how to record a sound file and share it onlone. He shows how to plug a microphone into a computer and record a voice file using free audio recording software called Audacity. Once the sound file is created Chris demonstrates how to export it as an mp3 file and suggests different ways to use sound files like these in class. One way is to upload the file to a website called voki.com. This allows you to create avatars or 'Vokis' which will speak the lines that have been recorded. These vokis can then be shared online with others.
