I spent today's hours trying out the new Phillips Voice Recorder that Marcie found online and ordered for me. With her help, I was able to get it set up fairly easily and get the recording uploaded to Blackboard. The trick is to use Firefox, NOT Explorer! I've asked Celeste if it would be possible to get 2 more recorders. If so, I can then assign Smart Pens to 3 groups, the Phillips to the other 3 groups in my Grammar 5 class this term. They have an upcoming assignment wherein they will be interviewing faculty and staff on campus, using the simple past and present perfect. Since I have a few speaking assignments in mind for the hybrid I'm working on, it would be wonderful to test both devices to see which one is more user friendly, not only for recording but for uploading to BB as well.
I also emailed Leon today to see if he can meet with me this week to discuss the possibilities of setting up a proper ISF page that contains public, administrative, and student areas.
