After dabbling with iFlipr for an hour or so on Thursday, I gave up on figuring a way to add sounds to the flashcards I had created. I had thought it was as simple as plugging in the microphone and an application popping up for me to record the word. Not so easy for the novice that I am! Fortunately, our techno guru Karen Justl came to the rescue during our Friday meeting and in less than 2 minutes solved my frustrating problem! She showed me how to access the application "Sound Recorder" on my PC and get files with wav extension that were easily uploadable to iFlipr. (start>programs>accessories>entertainment>sound recorder).
I am so thrilled to have that additional feature to the flashcards, so students can hear the correct pronunciation of the word in both French and English (for my ELLs). The sounds on my first prototype is a little garbled --be sure to speak LOUDLY when you record for best effect. :) [efm]
