Podcast!

Click on the link below to access my podcast.  For the audio I read a section from Chapter 12 of the course text, Instructional Media and Technologies for Learning.  To make the podcast more interesting I used Audacity to change the pitch of my voice, and I imported some action-adventure background music from freeplaymusic.com.  Enjoy!
