Story Five

Show who you are and have your say.

Any experienced SMART Notebook user might be surprised that you cannot add sound to objects in a workspace. The reason why is obvious. However, we needn´t get limited with this. As there are hundreds of ways of sharing sound file in the cloud, we can put it in the workspace as a web link.

My students are used to record reading parts of their student´s books and share them with me. Such a way of dealing with reading task saves time in lessons, includes student´s self-assessment, and makes reading a self-paced, comfy activity (which I believe it should be).

So we agreed that the next reading bit would be recorded via a single website that stores the files in the cloud and simply provides students with links to them. If you like to try it out, check www.vocaroo.com. What´s also good about the website is that it can generate a QR code, which makes it easier to get to the source.

As you can see, the result was simply lovely. Feel free to read the QR codes.
