I've done similar projects like this. You could use a Movie
Maker/Audacity combo- but there is an easier way. My number
one method to do what you want to do would be Voicethread which
is a free app (you can pay a small fee for an educator account
as well if you want more options). You can make a page for
each student, let them record their comments- and they can then
even comment on others work. My second choice is a program you
have to pay for called Pixie. Here they can write, add their
clip art, and record their voices. You can then put all of
their work together to create a movie. Pretty cool program as
well. Hope that helps!! Happy creating! :)
