Audacity tutorial

I like to use Audacity to make my sound files. However, when I have students do this they are often stumped by the lack of documentation. Here is a free video tutorial on the web that I found to be very useful. http://www.multimediatrainingvideos.com/audacity1/

Great History Game

The BBC has a great example of a history game. It is about the Gunpowder Plot when, in 1605, Guy Fawkes and a band of Catholics tried to blow up Parliment. http://www.bbc.co.uk/history/interactive/games/gunpowder/index.shtml
The graphics are great. It's not too long but it tests knowledge of the plot.
