SOUND RECORDER (FREE)

The program 'Sound Recorder' (PCs only) can be utilised with a simple microphone to record up to 60 seconds of sound. This program is already installed on PCs and laptops although the latest version on Windows Vista is not so ueful for primary activities relating to PoS 5d. It should be possible to save the program from an older platform (Windows 98, 2000, XP) and import to Vista. Instructions for doing this to follow in due course.

The program can be used for simple recording of high quality, pupil appraisal (for instance their singing, compositions) or sounds can be changed under the 'Effects' drop down menu. This is a very simple program to use, and a good starting point for teacher technophobes. By combining files (use 'mix file' under the Edit drop down menu) different sounds can be combined to produce simple sound stories.

Find Sound Recorder' by clicking on: 'Start' then 'Programs' then 'Accessories' then 'Entertainment' and finally 'Sound Recorder'.
