Audacity's interface is too complicated and evaluating their pronunciation from the sound wave of their recording is more than I think they'd be able to or care to do. <br /><br />I'd appreciate any suggestions.<br /><br />Thanks, Eva<br />teacher.eva.uae@gmail.comAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22055982.post-39558795917666302322010-09-07T10:20:50.030-07:002010-09-07T10:20:50.030-07:00To this you might add Adobe Presenter.

Although I am a mere school district curriculum director in social studies (ret.), Presenter has provided one of the best ways to create powerful and versatile district-wide review materials. Each slide is narrated on its own and it is easy to correct narration errors. Digital video can be easily inserted. video of the narrator (or better yet a digital avatar) can be inserted. Finally, a quick quiz can be easily built. <br /><br />For me, it's the combination of Captivate and Presenter that are my favorite choices. The flash and the PDF work across platforms, a necessity in a district with Mac in elementary and PC in secondary.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
