With Sound Studio 3, you can record professional-sounding Podcasts and other audio dialog. Check out the article on Suggested Recording Hardware to find out more about how to mic properly and other useful audio information. Positioned perfectly between more expensive programs with steep learning curves and far less robust apps, Sound Studio is for anyone who needs to record or edit audio with a professional tool, but at a consumer price. Take advantage of your Mac’s built-in audio capabilities. • Layer sounds with multiple tracks • Apply any of 24 built-in effects filters • Open and save in MP3, aiff, wav, and other popular file formats • Create podcasts with chapter markers • Edit iTunes song metadata and ID3 tags • Connects to any standard USB audio device or other Core Audio device. Batch process files using Automator or AppleScript Conclusion In this article, we have seen how sound can be captured in a structured form on electronic media. However, that is just the beginning, with a wide variety of formats available along with numerous types of software for the manipulation of these files. Today’s educator who is adept with this technology as well as the tools to harness its power is truly at the cutting edge of creating meaningful media for a variety of subject matter. That subject matter will be enhanced by the addition of this dimension so that students can fully experience their new learning environment. References Fries, B. & and Fries, M. (2005).

Avenues to Success—Developing a Thriving Technology Education Program Submitted by Gary Wynn Greenfield-Central High School, Greenfield, Indiana Across the USA, technology education has faced many challenges over the past several decades. Educational changes and reform at all levels seem to have had a positive effect on the required classes or “core” courses. As a result, “elective” courses seem to be delegated to a secondary role in a student’s education. Several years ago a friend asked if I thought it was possible to maintain a thriving technology education program with all the changes that have been taking place over the last ten years. He said that, with outside forces such as NCLB, statemandated exit exams, and the push for students to enroll in more math and science, technology education was becoming an afterthought in some schools. At a recent ITEA <strong>Conference</strong>, fellow teacher Trent Taylor and I explained in detail the almost 30-year evolution of the technology education program at Greenfield-Central High School, Greenfield, Indiana. Through the years, the curriculum, students, teachers, and administrators have changed, but one constant remains: the positive attitude that the community has for technology education. A student drawing of Greenfield-Central’s PLTW room, which will be completed in 2009. Our school’s journey to develop a thriving technology education program has taken many twists and turns. We have had numerous challenges that have affected both the program and the methods we have used to instruct our students. The following are some of the influences that we have encountered and how we adapted to them. 29 • The Technology Teacher • February 2008
