My Take
Audacity is a great program to create and edit audio files. There is a slight learning curve to this program and will take some teacher direction for the students to learn the program. There are some great online free tutorials on how to use this program.

Students have used this program to record, splice audio, add sound effects and so much more! One of our theater classes used this to create old time radio shows with sound effects. Our dance students use it to splice music together to create an original soundtrack for their dances.
