Adobe Audition is a software program that allows you to record, edit, and enhance audio for podcasts and video.
Pedagogical Purposes
It can help students develop audio and digital literacy skills by allowing them to create and share high-quality audio that communicate scientific concepts, data, or phenomena.
It can enhance students’ creativity and critical thinking by enabling them to explore different audio editing and mixing techniques, styles, and effects in their projects.
It can foster students’ engagement and motivation by providing them with a fun and interactive way to learn and express themselves through audio.
Actionable Uses
Ask students to create a sound collage that mixes different sounds from nature, such as birds, water, wind, or fire, and use Audition to edit, layer, and blend the sounds to create a coherent and expressive audio piece.
Have students do a podcast interview with a scientist, such as a biologist, a physicist, or a chemist, and use Audition to record, edit, and enhance the audio quality of the interview, and to add music, sound effects, or narration.
Ask students to craft a radio drama that tells a story related to a scientific topic, such as the discovery of a new species, the invention of a new technology, or the exploration of a new planet, and use Audition to create, edit, and mix the dialogue, sound effects, and music of the drama.
