Most students are already familiar with audio recording in some form: traditional voicemail, voice messaging, and even the newly-popularized video narration on SnapChat and Youtube. Now recording apps make it easier than ever to use audio recording as a classroom tool. A voice memo app is pre-loaded on most iPhones, and free apps like Smart Voice Recorder or Voice Recorder are easy to download onto classroom devices. As a supplement to classroom content, audio recording is a flexible and accessible space for student practice.
At least once a week we ask students to audio record their responses to specific prompts. For example, we might ask them to reflect on their improvement in the latest math quiz or answer a set of questions on their research progress.
Practice & Revision: Even published authors read their writing out loud to check for errors or confusion. At times, we ask students to audio record themselves reading their work aloud as a way to hold students accountable for practicing this important revision step. When students play back their recording, they have a new tool for encountering their text and finding places to revise. With group work, audio recording offers a practice space before final presentations. For example, if students are working on integrating primary sources in a social studies class, audio recording can help them listen for appropriate source introductions.
Listening to answers to questions and looking closely at the work of learners on learning tasks provides practitioners with powerful feedback about the level of learner understanding and their practice. This evidence supports reflection and can provide strategies to more effectively assist learners to make progress with their learning.
A digital portfolio can be used in many ways. In a more sophisticated form the digital portfolio can be developed over several years and used as an ongoing record of progress, perhaps presented at "Student-Led conferences" and used to inform future learning plans. Best practice portfolios would integrate student goal setting, self-assessment and reflection on learning with the presentation of learning examples. Portfolios could also refer to expected student learning outcomes (Victorian Curriculum F-10).
As the U.S. Soccer Grassroots initiatives continue to come online through the launch of the in-person and online Grassroots coaching courses, a critical concept that all Grassroots coaches will learn about is Play-Practice-Play. Researched and developed by technical leaders across the domestic Grassroots landscape, Play-Practice-Play is the optimal manner to structure a practice session for youth players, as it utilizes best practices for the learning and application of game-like scenarios.
There's also a Basic Concepts Behind Web Audio API article, to help you understand the way digital audio works, specifically in the realm of the API. This also includes a good introduction to some of the concepts the API is built upon.
Let's take a look at getting started with the Web Audio API. We'll briefly look at some concepts, then study a simple boombox example that allows us to load an audio track, play and pause it, and change its volume and stereo panning.
Systematic and Cumulative. Structured Literacy instruction is systematic and cumulative. Systematic means that the organization of material follows the logical order of the language. The sequence must begin with the easiest and most basic concepts and elements and progress methodically to more difficult concepts and elements. Cumulative means each step must be based on concepts previously learned.
A person- and family-centered plan of care for CAPD ideally involves a team of professionals. The composition of an interprofessional team varies based on the needs of the individual, who (along with their support system) is integral to the process (e.g., planning, decision making, service delivery). See the ASHA resources on interprofessional education/interprofessional practice (IPE/IPP) and person-centered care in audiology as well as the ASHA Practice Portal pages on Bilingual Service Delivery and Cultural Responsiveness.
A team approach to treatment is often used. The composition of the team may vary (e.g., audiologist, speech-language pathologist [SLP], teacher, interpreter, parents, counselor) depending on the needs and goals of the individual seeking treatment. See the ASHA resources on interprofessional education/interprofessional practice (IPE/IPP) and person-centered care in audiology as well as the ASHA Practice Portal pages on Cultural Responsiveness and Bilingual Service Delivery.
Your journal can be a great place to explore creative writing projects like short stories, poetry, song lyrics, memoirs, or novels. Some people find it helpful to use their journal to record thoughts and ideas, which can then be used as inspiration for future writing projects. Others writers use their journal as a place to practice writing exercises or to experiment with different writing styles. By giving yourself a private place to explore ideas, create first drafts, and catalog your progress, your imagination can roam free.
Use your journal to create a visual representation of your thoughts and ideas. Mind map journaling is a method of journaling that combines the traditional practice of journaling with the concept of mind mapping. A mind map is a visual representation of ideas and information, often arranged in a non-linear, branching format. The process of creating a mind map can help you brainstorm new ideas, make connections between seemingly unrelated thoughts, and see the bigger picture of your thoughts and emotions. Mind map journaling also encourages a non-linear way of thinking, which can be beneficial for problem-solving and creativity. If you struggle with traditional linear journaling and find visual representation more helpful, mind map journaling may be a useful journaling technique to try.
We are currently seeking expressions of interest from composers and/or sound designers for a musical work that will take advantage of the technological capacities of the David Li Sound Gallery. Your concept can do this in any way, can emerge from any musical/audio practice, and can be aimed at any audience.
