When I was taking an upper division course in creative writing at SUU my professor was way into using technology to further the writing process. After we had spent a month writing a first draft to a novella, he had us create an Audacity account and record ourselves reading the novella. The revisions from the first draft were to be spawned from listening to ourselves read the novella.
As a teacher, using Audacity for distance education purposes is a smart way to go. For instance, I could create a podcast for my home school students. That way they could feel like they are still participating in a classroom experience. On the flipside, students can record themselves and send it in to the teacher for evaluations (no more 1980's "mixed tape" cassettes). This would have been nice when as a high school student I took a home course through BYU and had to record myself playing the guitar on a tape and then send it in to my professor. Technology sure makes educational life better.
