AUDIO RECORDING DEADLINE HAS BEEN POSTPONED.  The deadline was Monday 10^th but we will suspend this deadline indefinitely until we are all confident about using the various technologies to post our audio recordings to our DP’s.  I do not have a set deadline, but you can count on it being due later next week. 

Today we learned about various options to post our recordings to our DP’s.  One program I showed you to record audio files only is, Audacity.  If you are looking for an audio recording option, please visit this link.  http://audacity.sourceforge.net/

It is easy to download and use.  I added the audio file I made from audacity to Windows Movie Maker and I was able to make a still photo video. 

Today we also practiced reading children’s stories to each other to work on our pronunciation. 

En Clase:

in class we worked on our cuentos infantiles- children’s stories.

I have changed the due date for the books to Monday 10th.  We will still only have Wednesday to work on the books in class so don’t plan on having additional class time to work on them. 

Also due Monday are the sound recordings for our stories.  We will be working on these Thursday and Friday in class. 

Today we continued working on our cuentos infantiles – children’s stories.  All your corrections should be done and you need to be assembling your books the next two days.
