Keeping Quiet About Voice Recordings
January 29, 2008 | Tagged garageband, homework, podcast, Spanish, world language |
At times I have to remind myself that technology integration often happens on this campus without the Tech Coordinators’ direct involvement. Such is the case with one of our 6th Grade Spanish teachers, a self-defined technology resistant teacher, who inquired in the Fall about how to use GarageBand to record a Spanish dialogue. Imagine my surprise when I visited her class webpage yesterday and discovered that she has been recording dialogues and posting them on her class web page for student assignments! Sometimes the use of technology is noisy, but in this case it felt like a quiet victory. Click on the mp3 to hear one of the dialogues she posted for students: El libro perdido

Don’t language teachers get so excited about recording and posting audio? Here, the teachers used a recent schoolwide language teachers meeting to share experiences with online video and audio. All of the lower school teachers agreed to use them to prepare for the holiday musical performance — that’s right, all four of them, despite highly variable tech proficiencies! I’m thrilled about this.
