Jessica Edwards and Ken Stewart, library media specialists at BVH, recently collaborated with social studies teachers.  Students created Prezis with audio. Students recorded their presentation audio using Audacity software.

“Students this year are upgrading their Prezi use by adding in audio files using Audacity, which creates a presentation that will play through automatically once the viewer opens it.”
