Online mp3 Recorder

Record mp3 is an easy to use, online recorder.  You can save these files and embed them into your lessons in programs such as PowerPoint and SMART Notebook.  By the way, the newest version of SMART Notebook is due out this spring and does feature an mp3 recorder to put audio directly into your lessons.  Until then, this is an easy program to use.  If you want a more powerful audio editor, Audacity is currently on our school division image.  You will still need to convert those .wav files to mp3.  If you require this, please contact your tech coach because an encoder needs to be added to your computer.
