Califone Built-In Mic for Built-In Learnning
Learning often includes feedback in one form or another, and for language development and literacy especially, the ability to record verbal responses for later playback can reap great rewards.
Recording with different tech tools involves the use of a microphone that students talk in to; however, not all educational tools have the capability of connecting a wired microphone. A built-in microphone on the other hand provides not only convenience but also ease of portability without needing to transport an external device. Students who need to practice their reading skills can do so by speaking directly into the built-in microphone on the Performer Plus multimedia player and recording onto a cassette for playback to check their progress.
For similar assignments, the CardMaster card reader can assist students at different proficiency levels learn how to pronounce letters, words, phrases, sentences as they record vocal responses with its built-in microphone. Vocabulary instruction can become taxing day in and day out as you find yourself repeating the same words to different classes which is why with the DC596 Diggiditto document camera, you can utilize its built-in microphone to record and save up to 3-minute long segments of vocabulary words for ESL and ELL applications to avoid straining your voice.
Educators seeking more of an interactive experience for students can instead equip them with the AV2 to engage them in using the built-in microphone to create voice recordings for their language arts and reading curriculum. Like the AV2, the Califone MP3 player can also store digital audio recordings made by students with the player’s built-in mic capability that can then be shared with fellow peers as podcasts online. Speaking of online, students can speak into the built-in microphone found on the USB Webcam for when they do share those podcasts to discuss the content while Skyping with other students in a virtual classroom environment or for distance learning.
