Audio

Audio File week proved to be a frustrating week for me. All right, so this is a frustrating week for me because the audio would not work. I tried every way that you could possibly think of to upload this audio to this machine and it would not work. It kept saying that for security reasons this MP3 that I kept trying to upload was not going to work. I tried uploading it. I tried using it from the website. I tried using different files. Files that had already been on my computer. Files from a new website. I tried everything and yet I still never got the audio file put on. I tried Voki and I really liked Voki because this is along the lines of how I am as a teacher very bubbly I love that you can use different characters and lots of colors and background you can almost create a story was like that audio and that was one of the things that I would love to see you on here. Vocaroo was simple and clear and I would definitely use that as well. Audiopal was easy to embed it seems except on here with me of course. And I like that audio pal also lets you use different languages and voices so and there’s also no sign-up required which is nice.
I’m including this Voki link to check out: https://orangefreesounds.com/8bit-coin-sound-effect/
The Podcast I’m recommending is a teacher’s dream:

The setup in the beginning already sets the kids up for thematic things to look for and a bit of foreshadowing. This story is clear and interesting. Story Nory is definitely something I would use in my classroom.
I have a learning challenge myself that audio phonics helped me to become an English teacher. I love audio that plays on the fact that there are different ways to learn.

I sympathize with your struggle with audio this week! My headphones are a microphone/headphone combination, but my computer refuses to recognize the microphone for some reason. I ended up trying to use my phone for some of them just to see how they worked. I agree with you it is very frustrating and wastes a lot of time when things don’t work like they should!!
It seems we all had issue with uploading or embedding the audio file. I even contacted IT and they said well try and upload to Google Drive and provide a link. It seems that the university has set up WordPress to not allow audio uploads because of space!
