Introducing oneself (First activity for this free week)

You have already spoken about yourselves in your own blogs and I've enjoyed reading all and each of your introductions.

Don't forget to visit your classmates blogs and leave a comment in each of them. You can find then in the sidebar, on the right.

We will now do a new activity.

Today you will try a new voice tool. Here, you'll be able to listen to my introduction and to other people's as well. You will find paticipants from other countries, too.

You will need a microphone to record your voices.


Once you've listen to everyone, you'll record your own introduction.

How?
Follow these steps:

1st) Click on " ".

2nd) Choose "Take me to the signup page". It is not necessary to complete the optional details column.

3rd) Fill in the required details. Remember: do not write your surname, just your first name. Select a nickname.

4th) If you want to, you can upload a photograph.

5ht) Click on "I agree, sign me in"

6th) You are now ready to record a message! You'll need a microphone, just that.

  • How many people have left messages?
  • Where are they from?
  • What do they do?
Listen to your previous classmates messages and answer them as well. By double-clicking on them you can access to their accounts and leave a message as well.

We are all eager to listen to you!

  2. Have you checked if it is plugged in the right place?
    Anyway, I'll post another activity. Why don't you write your answer here, instead of recording it?

  5. Yes, I have already opened it, but my question is that if I have to answer the questions "with my voice", I mean when I record the message, or I write them here?

    Well, the questions I have to answer are these:
    1- How many people have left messages?
    2- Where are they from?
    3- What do they do?

    The first one was you, Marina, an English teacher, from argentina.
    The second one was Carlos, he is an English teacher too, he is from Colombia.
    The next one is Monica from Brazil. She is a sible engeniar , i think.
    The other' Name y Nami, from Brasuk. F. she estudied lenguages.

  9. Thank you for your comment, Sheila. Yes, it is sometimes difficult to record messages, but it isn't impossible. It requires some patience and, of course, time.
