During the inauguration, first grade students sketched the words and images that they wanted to remember. I assembled these into a slideshow and then overlayed an audio segment of President Obama’s speech. I am so pleased that the White House has made these materials easy to access and download. I hope we will see students produce creative remixes of government content in the future.
I downloaded the full-quality MP4 from whitehouse.gov and then used QuickTime Player to extract the audio track.
