Audioboo: This is a super cool site, kinda like an exclusively audio version of Youtube. On the site there are different recordings and shows, including reoccurring ones of which you can subscribe. Additionally, if you create an audio recording it is easy to share with your friends as it can be automatically linked to major networking sights. The only down side that I have noticed is that if you do not have the premium account your recordings are limited to three minutes. Immediately the thought that popped into my mind was that students could use if from their own home computers (as not all the students will have Garage Band at home). Also, students could make audio recordings rather than written blogs.

iPadio: Speaking of audio blogging, on iPadio students can create"phlogs". This twist on the classic blog is interesting and it could be a great way to involve the students with musical intelligences!

Audacity: Okay, so your students have created their audio recordings/phlogs and they are ready to edit it. Using Audacity, a free audio editing service, students can cut and paste segments, change the pitch, and make other adjustments. Additionally the website allows them to create recordings on the site.

Overall, this service, as well as the previous two, are all great and free (except Audioboo's premium features) tools to be used in the classroom.
