Have you seen this yet?!
It is the Easi-Speak USB Microphone from Learning Resources! I couldn't wait to get my hands on this thing and try it out!! It's just what I was hoping for....FABULOUS!!!!
I can't wait to use this baby in my guided reading groups! What kid doesn't LOVE using a microphone!? What a great motivator!!
We have a little hearing impaired kiddo in our school. The teacher in his classroom wears a microphone around her neck and her voice is amplified through speakers in the room. It didn't take long for that teacher to figure out that the students LOVED holding that microphone when they read-it was a win-win! It helped the little hearning impaired child hear what the other kids were reading AND the kids loved being "in the spotlight" and hearing themselves read!
Well, the Easi-Speak is even better than that! Simply press the record button! Now you can play it back for the kids to hear how they sounded. You can do this instantly through the mic because it has a little built-in speaker on it!! You can also simply plug the mic into your computer to upload and save the files!!!!~
This makes it super easy to save for assessments, tracking progress and sharing with parents!!
All you have to do is simply remove the cap and the USB plug is right on the end of the microphone! I LOVE that the cap is attached to the mic with a little cord!!! That way, I can't lose it!! :) And, because the whole microphone just plugs right into the computer, there are NO cords to search for! Know what else that means?! Are you ready for this?! NO BATTERIES!!!!! Yes, you read that correctly! By plugging it in-you are also charging it up!
Learning Resources has done a great job thinking of every way to make this convenient, user friendly and easy to use! Seriously! Just hit the red button to record, the green button to play and the arrow to go to the next track! Plus, the size is perfect for little hands AND comes with a lanyard to wear around the neck to avoid accidental drops!
Want one yet??? Well, I just happen to have one to give away!!! ;)

I could use the Easi-speak for recording kids and letting them listen for fluency, creating a digital portfolio of reading samples, letting my kids include a best reading in our listening center, etc.

I would use this with my student that is a selective mute. She speaks at home, so I would have her record herself reading to play back so I could complete a running record. I could also have her record a part of our Hrcourt story so she could participate without having a panic attack.

I have seen these mentioned all over the web! I would love to give it a try for running records, fluency practice, oral language monitoring in housekeeping and play centers. It might even be helpful for those children who forget their message when they are trying to write.

ReplyDeleteWe currently do classroom presentations so this would be a great tool for students to practice before they stand up in front of the class. It would also fit perfectly into our reading groups to practice fluency. It would also be a great tool to use to help incorporate our speaking and listening standards.
