I got a great email this week:
Hi!
I teach Kindergarten and received an IPod
listening station through a Donors Choose grant. However, I have been
unable to use it :( I cannot find anyone who can help me - read your
blog - and thought I would ask if you know what I need to do. I want to
be able to record my own books and use them at the listening station.
I have tried recording through the headphone mike connected to the Ipod.
I can hear the story aloud, but the sound will not go through the
listening system. Then I recorded using Audacity (Lame), saved it as
an Mp3 file, and synced it through my ITunes account. It shows on the Ipod and in ITunes, but there is no sound. Any suggestions? I received this last February and still
haven't been able to use it! :( Very disappointed.
Thanks for any ideas!
I have iPods but I do not use them for listening station. So... how do you use iPods for listening stations and how do you record your own stories?
(I am thinking I could do this for listening and following directions activities.)
Thanks for all your tech support here!
Mary...I don't have any advice but was coming to look for some. I had an ipod nano in my Donors Choose list, but didn't get it. I think the technology committee at my school MAY be getting me one. I am curious too as to how this will work! I'll be checking back to see if anyone comments!

I have done this before, but only on a Mac. I used a microphone and the Mac program garage band. In garage band you create a podcast. After you read it, you go to the share menu and click share to itunes. Unfortunately I don't know how to do it on a pc, but if you have a mac, that is how. I also get a lot of books on cd using my bonus points at Scholastic. They have lowered the price just a bit this year. I hope this helps.
