Pick 3 of the programs that we talked about to explore and play with.

Create a short project in each of the 3 programs that YOU could use to introduce an assignment in your class -OR- that you could use as a student example. One of your projects must involve recording your voice!

Turn in a link to each of your 3 projects via this spreadsheet. We will look at some of the projects toward the end of class!
