Sharing an Audio Journal with Your Community Recorder is an audio recording tool for the iPhone and iPod Touch. It is great for recording short audio memos, or to record a talk or a lecture. Similar applications are available for other types of phones as well as stand alone audio recording devices.

Recently I have been in the habit of using Recorder on my iPhone to record short interviews with students and staff about what I am seeing in their classrooms. I am starting to share these on my blog and on the school web site. I see this as one more way to share with our community the work taking place in our school and help give a fuller picture of the work we are engaged in. Below is a recent example...

Lewis Audio Journal: On Friday, I was visiting Ms. Davis' 3rd grade classroom when a student named Cordell came up to me and asked if her could read a poem to me. I clicked into Recorder and below is the result. I plan to do this more often and use Recorder to record conversations with Lewis students and staff.
