Audacity information and information on mental health - thank you TJ

Thank you so much TJ for providing a link to your excellent overview of Audacity. This may well be of great interest to some members of the class. It is well worth a look and is incredibly informative. 

Here it is here and includes her easy to follow audio instruction: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1y8exqSRzpT5RIiV-S-ftyX7a6N5_rOYA/view?usp=sharing

When students volunteer their services when they have competence in any discipline, it surely enriches the learning experience and something I have always welcomed in my teaching over the years.

Remember, you do not have to use this software and as I have said many times, the choice is yours. You can edit using audio commentary if you like, as Hannah has done, just whatever suits you - the end product is the overriding factor. How you arrive at that is part of your reflective journey after all. You should experiment, like you did with the blog platforms, and that seems to have developed and focused many of you which is really pleasing to see. 

If you have any questions regarding her video, please make a comment (using Google Chrome of course) below and I will make reference to the video in class on Wednesday too.

TJ also asked whether I would share a link to a project her sister is working on over in the US. Again, I am happy to oblige as it is on a subject a number of you are covering in your research topics and is on a topic we can all contribute to - mental health.

A little background- her sister back in Texas is doing a project with the Girl Scouts which requires her to have a sustainable and global link. Her project involves a website discussing mental health coping skills and resources. She's looking for people to visit the site and have a look around and potentially provide feedback. 

Her sister's site includes informational pages and videos (which feature TJ's voice and editing if you want to see what some of her other work looks like too!) She figured that members of the class might find some sort of inspiration for their own assessments. I agree. 

Here’s the link to the Cloud 9 site: https://sites.google.com/view/projectcloudnine/home

And here’s the link to the feedback form: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSezjrkFTnqFIXh-FX2zWUkN7T-hGSS0DypQN0Xz85qEM0gxgg/viewform

Take care everybody and have a wonderful weekend.

Short footnote - having read the depth of information contained in the Cloud 9 link, these are extremely helpful for lots of reasons. They are impressive and worth bookmarking in my opinion. Well done to TJ’s sister 👏
