One module in Information Processing addresses 'multimedia use'. We will be focusing on the use of "Audacity", which is a program that is used to modify, edit, and create audio files.
Week 1 of this unit is to gain some 'formative' practise with using the program... Here's what to do to set yourself up for success this unit:
1. Install "Audacity"
> on the 'Desktop', double-click the 'Audacity' file from the 'Install Software...' link that has programs to install. This will take about 10 minutes to install [maybe a bit longer if everyone is doing it at once]. While this is installing, do parts 2 and 3 and 4.
2. Find the "Audacity folder" [at >Public >InfoPro >Audacity]
> all of the instructional videos and files you will be using are in this folder. Also, notice the folder called "_Lessons", which has the formative links you must complete before starting the 'Summative' project.
Please make sure you can get back to this folder; you may wish to make a 'shortcut to the desktop' of this folder, so you can find it quickly.
3. Create the sub-folder "2-Audacity" in your GoogleDrive
> this will be the folder that you will put your 'finished' files for marking [in about 2.5 weeks, when we are finished this unit].
4. Complete "Task #1: File Extensions"
> you can create a GoogleDrive document [or Microsoft Word document] to do this; when you are finished, please put the file in your "2-Audacity" folder in GoogleDrive.
5. Start "Activity 1: Fast Talking!" from the "_Lessons folder"
> you'll likely not finish this today; we'll be working on this tomorrow, when I'll share the 'Unit-at-a-Glance' file with you...
Enjoy the day.... it's sunny and warm!
