Participant  Step-­‐by-­‐Step  Instructions:    Activity  1:    Create  voice  recordings  and  create  a  fluency  digital  portfolio    

Step  1:    Important:    Clearly  state  your  name  at  the  beginning  of  each  memo.  Each  person  should  practice  at  least  2  reading  fluency  checks  using  the  selection.    The  recorder  should  also  time  the  reader.    When  finished,  count  the  number  of  words  read.  This  information  can  be  included  in    metadata  later.    Step  2:    Create  a  Smart  Playlist  that  will  organize  memos  in  a  digital  portfolio  when  synced.*  

    Step  3:    In  iTunes,  click  File  >  New  >  Smart  Playlist       Step  4:    Make  sure  to  set  the  “artist”  container  and  type  in  the  student  name     after  the  “contains”  box.

Step  5:    Using  the  “teacher  laptop”,  plug  in  your  iPod  and  sync.    The  voice  memos  will  be  organized  under  “voice  memos”.      

    Step  6:    Highlight  each  memo  individually.    As  soon  as  you  hear  the  name,  you       are  ready  to  add  metadata.      

 File  >    get  info.    Rename  “artist”  to  student  name.      

    (no  need  to  re-­‐sync)        

Since  “update  live”  was  checked  during  Smart  list  creation,    the  voice  memo  will  automatically  populate  in  that  student  playlist.    You  can  also  copy  and  paste  the  reading  selection  under  “lyrics”.

 Method  #2:    Sync  all  student  voice  memos      

• Memos  will  populate  under  the  voice  memos  category  • View  options:    select  artist  and  comments  • View  all  the  voice  memos  in  “list”  view;    click  on  each  memo  and  update  artist  info  &  

comments  • after  they  have  been  tagged,  you  can  delete  from  this  area;    it  should  only  contain  memos  

that  have  not  been  identified  

Highlight  each  student  Smart  Playlist    

Ø Click  View  >  Options  Ø Remove  all  checkmarks  except:    Artist,  Time,  &  Comments  

Organize  class  folders:    Create:    new  playlist  folder,    drag  and  drop  each  student  “smart”  playlist  into  the  playlist     Example:    create  a  folder  for  period  1,  period  2,  small  reading  group  etc.,
