 Making your own sounds
If your computer has a sound card and you have a microphone, you can easily make
your own sound recordings. Plug your microphone into your sound card. Click Start,
Programs, Accessories, Multimedia, Sound Recorder. A program will start that
allows you to record sound and save it as a file. Record your sound and then save it as a
file. Once you have made your own sound, you
can create a hyperlink to it from within your Word, Excel or
PowerPoint document.
Use in learning activities
Record instructions, stimulus materials or just fun sounds. In your Word or
Excel document create a hyperlink to the sound file. We
live in an audiovisual culture. You can engage the learner by providing a rich
medium within which to learn. Adding sound clips to your spreadsheet or Word
documents create a more intereting environment for the learner. |
