Voice Memo Digital Audio

Hi everyone,
This exercise encouraged us to use a digital voice recording. Now knowing that I sound much younger on the phone than my actual age I was quite hesitant but I have completed the task at hand. I  created digital audio memo using my ipod. I managed to eventually download i to my laptop and then transfer onto my wiki. So if you want to listen my wiki address is

It was fun to create but doubt whether it could actually be conducive to the learning environment unless incorporated with other activities that further develop learning support, learning resources and learning tasks to develop both procedural and declarative knowledge (Garner 2008)

Plus:

• Fun to create
• Learners in action
• Encourages learners to engage in Literacy using oral dialogue
• Small file that can be uploaded to any computer
• Virtual learning
• Independent learning
• Produced anywhere at a low cost to learner and teacher

Minus:

• Quick
• Voice tone could be identified  as not interested in activity
• Pedagogy would need to be very defined in what was required
• Control of teachers very limited

Interesting:

• Something different
• Ability to analyse your grammar and speaking ability
• Could utilise it if used several multi media sources

In summary there are good points and bad to using this type of learning tool. Not sure if its something I would be rushing out to use in class though.
