Jing a Ling

Today in class we worked with a new tool called Jing. First you need to create an account then you are ready to go!! You can do fun things with this tool such as capture an image on the computer and edit it with arrows or highlight what is important then you can save it or it can give you a URL. You can even make a movie!! Hit the capture button and then at the bottom of the screen click the movie reel. Then it will give you a count down then you are ready to start. Then you will give a URL and then I saved it to my desktop, To view my movie click here

What has been done with Audacity today....

Today was a fun day with working with our audios in Audacity. In Audacity, you can use effects to create a new audio. You can amplify your audio, compress, equalize, and do fun things such as change the speed and the pitch. You can reverse your audio and add an echo for silly sound effects. Then in class we imported a song called "Long Hair Country Boy." Then we cut the song and moved our audio so we can have a music intro. We faded the song out and faded our voices in.
