Hello everyone! Today I am introducing my new blog, a place for me to share miscellanous thoughts and ramblings about areas that interest me. Here you will find topics such as eLearning and Instructional design (great for the educators out there), all things web and tech related, my criminal justice corner as well as some reviews thrown in on new things I am using or have watched or seen (that way I can have some fun, throwing in movies, music and other good stuff). I hope you will find my blog helpful, entertaining and maybe even educational.
Todays blog is a quick mention of some great free audio programs that you can use for eLearning, creating web based presentations for use in the classroom or online. All of these are free (with the exception of Microsoft's Soundsmith-although this is free to educators).
Audacity An audio editor that is free and easy to use.
Levelator A tool to make your audio narration better. It's an easy way to edit and adjust your audio for presentations. Here is a quick tutorial
If you want to add something other than just the sound of your voice then Creative Commons Audio is a good resource for music and sound effects. Here are some sites that offer sound effects and free music.

Jamendo
For those who are a bit more creative and, unlike myself, have some talent there are tools to make your own music:
Microsoft’s Songsmith- a $30.00 program is free to educators

Of course you can also make your own music with Musicshake http://eng.musicshake.com/ or even Garage
Band from Apple.
