This is our group's task for May's Voices of the World task.
Voices of the World Instructions
- Children to draw/create scenes of the sports mentioned (no children included in photos) and put on to a PowerPoint with the names written on each slide.
- Using Audacity record children naming the sports in your native language.
- Upload the two different files (sound and visual) onto myPlick.com and email to
Sharon
Learning about the how Sharon organises Voices of the World has been very interesting. I think the idea of children everywhere doing the same thing to enable others to hear their language is a really good idea, it will promote children's vision into the differences around the world.
During the input today my group worked well together and we all fell into jobs which needed done to create the above example for Voices of the World. Using the software proved more difficult, mainly due to human error than to the applications being hard to use. This resulted in our recording of the sports using Audacity taking longer than was anticipated. Towards the end of the input when we were uploading the slides to myplick.com we began to get slightly frustrated, the audio was taking a long time to upload, meaning we could not sync it with the slides. This caused some annoyance and I feel I allowed that to get in the way of my communication with my group. For future use of this software we should definitely remember that it takes longer to upload audio and not allow it to effect our group.
