Listen to comments about a great digital recording program called Audacity.   Using this program, you will be recording your voice, adding music and effects.  When your recording is completed, you’ll be inserting this audio file into your Powerpoints or MovieMaker, or making your own Podcasts or voice threads.  It is lots of fun!
