(a) Technology of interest
The technology that interests me is software that can edit and improve audio recording. Some of the features include:
- removing background noise
- enhancing different tracks, e.g. vocal above instrumental
- adjusting the volume to create fading in/out
- introducing echo
- adjusting the speed of different sections
- cut and paste
- combining different tracks which were recorded at different times
In the hands of the master, an average recording can sound quite professional.
(b) How I can use Flickr in teaching
Flickr allows searching for pictures related to any topic, by searching according to tags or keywords. There are thousands of related pictures, some of them so professionally taken that they can pass off as poster images. This is better than scanning images from books/magazines. These pictures can then be included in MS Powerpoint presentations to enliven the lecture.
Another interesting aid is to use YouTube. This is better than borrowing video tapes from the library and arranging for a video player in the classroom.
