Professional Development with David Kinane - Wednesday 11 May 2011. Session with Dave Muir and Room 16 Tech A group (Technology day).

When I spoke with David at lunchtime I asked him if he could take a session on Vocaroo. We were able to get 4 laptops and use my ibook for the 12 students to access Room 16's wiki. The reason for doing this was to provide students with an opportunity to become more proficient in using Vocaroo as a tool to record their voice along with learning the procedure so that they can teach the other half of the class. Some students had already used Vocaroo in Technology as Ms Narsai has been getting students to record themselves. It was great to see the students working in their small groups supporting each other. David provided a safe learning environment and gave clear instructions which the students responded well to. Some students got to post small recordings as a sample in which they can show the other students tomorrow in ICT, when the rest of the class will be able to learn how to access Vocaroo. Room 16 is now on the move!
