Info on file extensions (This is what I could find; hope it helps): This is an area many struggle with. I may try to put together something to help; watch my blog at www.k12handhelds.com/blog if you are interested and/or I'll post a link here when I get it done.

 * [|pretty solid, but easy-to-understand, article]

In short format workshops like this, I like to keep presentation to a minimum and let you do as much hands on as you like. Please use the links below and your handouts to explore and **FEEL FREE TO DEVIATE FROM OUR AGENDA AS YOU LIKE TO MAXIMIZE YOUR OWN LEARNING**. If you really like one topic (or need more time as we are moving on), feel free to work on what interests you. Step-by-step guides are included in the handouts.

Our agenda is:
 * to use [|Audacity] to create an audio podcast
 * to post that podcast as an MP3 file to a [|web page]

[|Podcast share page] * This is where you'll post your final work today.
