The microphone activity this week was very tiresome. We had to take a microphone and record our voice reading a book, poem, and storyboard and then burn them onto different Cd’s. I went to target and they were out of the microphone so I decided I would go to staples. Staples had the microphone for eight dollars so I bought it. I then had to go to my boyfriend’s house to use the internet to download the Audicty user so I could use the microphone.
Once I did that I thought I was in the clear. But that was not so. My Microphone wouldn’t work on my computer. Why I don’t know. But finally after a half of an hour being frustrated and yelling and screaming at my computer my boyfriend said that I should try restarting my computer with the microphone already plugged in. Well of course I was frustrated and said no that wont work leave me alone ill figure it out. I finally said fine ill try restarting it since nothing else was working. And what happened you may ask… it worked. I spent a good 45 min trying to get it to work and all I had to do was plug it in before I turned my computer on.
This taught me that maybe I should read directions to how things work instead of just assuming I know. The assignment was pretty cool in the fact that recording yourself talking and then listening to it was really interesting. I over came these problems by listening to other peoples advice and by calming down.

I had the same problems with this project. It was so complicated! Although we may have had problems with it, I think that this project was also very beneficial. It is amazing what you can do with technology. I think I could definitly use a watered-down version of this project in my future classroom. So good luck with your future endeavors in this class...I know this class is very stressful but its worth it!:)
