Using Basic Classroom Tools and Programs To Create Digital Products By: Jean Dolling http://www.davis.k12.ut.us/Page/18377 Oak Hills Elementary 2nd Grade Teacher
SOUND SET-UP • First, plug the stereo headphones into the microphone jack. • Then, right click on the speaker icon at the bottom right by the time. • Next, click on recording devices. The computer should recognize there’s a recording device such as the headset with a built in mic. It will have a green check by it. • Right click on the recording device marked with the green check and then click on properties. • Click on the Levelstab. Find the Microphone Boost tab; click and hold it while sliding it all the way to the right.
STUDENT RECORDINGS • Have students practice reading their work aloud to minimize mistakes. • Down in the bottom left corner there is a Windows Start button. Click on it and place your cursor over All Programs without clicking. • Find the Accessories Folder and open it. • Now, open Sound Recorder by clicking on it. • You are ready to begin recording. • Be sure to have the student read into the side of the headphones that is connected to the cord. • Click on Start Recording and wait for the clock to begin timing. • Once student is done recording they hit Stop Recording. The computer will then prompt them to save their recording. Name it and save it to your designated storage spot: H drive, Dropbox, SkyDrive, flash drive, etc.
PHOTOGRAPHING STUDENT WORK • Take pictures of desired student work with your digital camera. An I-pad works great too. • Save images in the desired location such as a flash drive, Dropbox, SkyDrive or H drive along with student recordings. There are two ways to do this when using a digital camera: using the camera cord or a USB SD Memory Card Reader .
PUTTING IT ALL TOGETHER • Open PowerPoint creating a new file. • Set-up each child’s slide using the two content layout inserting photos and recording. I found that the blank page worked well too.
Do you ever feel like this when new programs or technology are presented? Hopefully, this is NOT the case today.
Other Uses • Documenting Reading Fluency • Documenting Speech and Interventions • Student Portfolios • Educator Portfolios
