Learning as a Way of Teaching » Experiments http://mrjames.edublogs.org Just sharing my journey Thu, 05 Nov 2009 04:29:27 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.2 en hourly 1 Personal MP3 Recorders http://mrjames.edublogs.org/2009/03/03/personal-mp3-recorders/ http://mrjames.edublogs.org/2009/03/03/personal-mp3-recorders/#comments Tue, 03 Mar 2009 19:36:55 +0000 Mr. James http://mrjames.edublogs.org/?p=95 I have recently acquired 3 Sony Stereo IC Recorders.  Here are my ideas for implementation:

Podcasting

  • Podcasters could interview faculty members around school
  • Families can be a part of podcasts as they record their family history
  • Interviewing community leaders would be within reach
  • Reporting “live” on field trips, capturing the sounds of what they are seeing

 

In the classroom

  • Students recording themselves reading and then playing back.
  • Teachers can recite spelling words for students to practice (listening with the included earphones)
  • Centers can have a recorder to playback instructions for that activity

 

Communication

  • Students can take home recorded messages from teachers (in English or Spanish)
  • Co-Teachers can record thoughts to share with collaborating partners
  • Content Mastery Teachers can get detailed messages about assignments coming from General Ed teachers

These are just a few of the ideas running through my brain.  What are your thoughts?
