Audacity animated tutorials
This is not a set of unconnected 'how-to' lessons!! It's a structured set of animated tutorials thought through by an experienced Head of ICT and thoroughly tested and proven. Pupils watch and listen to an expert on their computer screens, showing them what to do in Audacity. They then make a radio production of Macbeth, Act 1 Scene 1 - three witches on a wet and windy moor. They will make it atmospheric and haunting using the wide range of techniques and effects available in Audacity.
