Instructions for the teacher

In order for the student to be able to carry out the activities in this unit, he/she will need headphones with an incorporated microphone. It is important to note that a quiet work place is necessary for these tasks to be done in order to avoid background noise when the students are recording. Headphones are used to avoid bothering their peers when they are listening to recordings.

What to take into account:

With regards to the subject material:

One of the objectives is to get the student to use Audacity in an autonomous way, using their  teacher and peers as guides and help when needed. The material used is very visual and the examples show detailed step-by-step instructions.

The objective IS NOT going over Audacity's many possibilities in an in-depth way. The activities will cover the main ones which will be needed to do the tasks and the student is expected to read the material given as a guide for helping him/her to complete the tasks with as much autonomy as possible.

With regards to the subject material:

Even though there are an abundant number of proposed activities, it is ultimately the teacher's decision on which activities to work on or not. Taking into account that students will have varying ranges of expertise, minimum expectations should be asked for. For this reason, there are different possibilities:

The obligatory activities that are necessary in order to learn the basic works of Audacity are tasks 1 and 2. Task 5 is also necessary in order to create the App's advert and also because it will be used in future tasks.
