Everything we have used today has been inexpensive. Most of these things can be done using a phone.
Some key messages are:
- Dont’ be worried about taking risks.
- Don’t be afraid to let the learners having a go at things.
Our favourite tools included Audacity, DSpeech and the tagging of photos on flickr.
Other plenary comments:
- Audacity does not handle WMA files, so you need to either use a device which records mp3
- Videotag: Have to sign up in order to use.
- Think about security issues.
- Choose your friends carefully, choose your enemies even more carefully.
