Our body system podcasts

We learnt how to create information podcasts. We used the program audacity to make our podcasts. When we were doing our podcasts we learnt:

  • to import audio files like music and sound effects
  • to edit our audio files
  • to record, pause and edit our voices
  • to change the volume of different parts
  • to use effects like fade out and in
  • to export and convert into mp3 using a converter

Now go and have a listen to our podcasts about our body system  and how to look after it, and we hope you enjoy them and learn something.
