This I believe continued...

Well, the activity turned out pretty good as far as recording, editing and uploading to SCORE. The problem arose when we tried to have students in pairs access the audio files of their peers to post comments based on specific questions. Bandwidth was an issue! Only 1 or two students were able to listen while the others waited to see if they could open the files. We tried partners, small groups, moving kids to desktops and still didn't have much success. The students now will be required to listen at home or during school hours when they can access a computer and will post to the discussion board then. Their deadline is Monday, Dec. 8. It was unfortunate that this was not able to be done during class time but now maybe some students will take off with this activity and listen to more than the minimum required 1 essay.
