Using Audacity to record an Autobiography
Introduction
In this assignment we were asked to use Audacity to record our literacy autobiography. Audacity is a voice recording software and I immensely enjoyed doing this task because I never knew recording a clear audio would be so easy. With technological advancement, voice recording has become a common and essential task which students should know about so I am glad we got to work on the software. We required to have a sound technological skill, speaking power, good written expression and grammatical background. First I wrote the essay on my chosen topic i.e. Journey of Learning Arabic and English, then I used Audacity to record it.
Reflection
I enjoyed recording my assignment on Audacity. It was easily accessible for free and on any platform, so I used it several times to perfect my voice and speaking expression till I was satisfied with the results. If I will be given another assignment I will use the same software to do it as it is very easy to use and I would highly recommend it to other students as well. I also suggest students to record their presentations on audacity and practice how they sound before any presentation in class.

Survey Monkey to conduct Online Research
Introduction
We were given the task of gathering quantitative data on one of the topics and we were worried how to get the maximum number of responses from our target population in the given time. I looked up some online tool for this and found survey monkey through google. Survey monkey is an online tool to gather primary research data online. I explored it and then designed a questionnaire on it, it was very easy and almost leads us to each next step. Later on I shared the link to my questionnaire with friends on Facebook and groups in Facebook and immediately got the number of responses I required to complete my research. Even the calculated results were provided by survey money which saved a lot of time and I only interpreted them.
Reflection
This platform was pretty easy and quick to use and greatly helped me in my research. I saved a lot of time in gathering data in a few days which otherwise would have taken me weeks to find my target population in person. I got to explore my options using technology to gather large database for any research that I might conduct in future. I suggest tis to my friends as it would make their research work easier.
