So this week we are reviewing again technology and what to look at when buying it. We are also re reviewing rubrics and making them. There is nothing wrong with the practice of this all, but I feel that we are doing it over and over. I am glad for the practice, and the tools, I just wish that doing some of it more practical for the current classrooms we are in. I have chosen to do my rubric on the 2nd grade animal report and how the technology will be used in it. This is great as the rubric is going to be used in a month!
As for the Pecha Kucha---man I do not like the sound of my own voice and I am finding that even if I am not reading from a script, it sure sounds like I am. I am a trying to redo it so this is not the case, but it is tough! I like my story, order, and pictures. If only I had a great "presentation" or "radio" voice I would feel better!
Group work this week--we are skipping face flow and going right to a Vroom. The Vrooms have proven to work, so we have gone with what is proven.
Time to work out the final details of the Pecha Kucha!
I absolutely hate the sound of my own voice as well. It made it uncomfortable listening to my narrative but I found each slide I listened to it felt a little more comfortable. Glad I am not alone in being freaked out by hearing myself.
ReplyDeleteI also hate the sound of my own voice. If that is what people hear when they hear me talk then I feel sorry for them.
ReplyDeleteThe nect time I need to record a voice-over I think I'm going to try using a text-to-speech service/app just for the fun of it. I found one at http://www.ispeech.org/free.text.to.speech.tts.software
Just use the free one/ log in w/Goggle account and you get unlimited 60 second recordings that you can download mp3's.
