Recently, our instructional technologist, Brian Zollinhofer, aka @zollinhofer, shared an email he received from a student. He posted the email as a blog post on our school's tech blog, but I felt it needed to be shared here as well. Enjoy!
Last night, I got the following email from a student at home:
I need help with recording a photo story at home.
At the time, I wasn’t really sure what Billy meant, or how I could help. I eventually figured that he needed a way to record his voice into his Photostory project. Perhaps the program was having problems. Perhaps he didn’t have a microphone to record his voice. It just wasn’t clear from the email.
About an hour later, I received another email:
Never mind My Rock band mic [for the Xbox 360] works
I actually chuckled at Billy’s problem solving. Instead of giving up, he thought of other ways he used his voice with technology. The game Rockband came to mind and he realized that he was able to plug his microphone into his computer. Good job thinking outside the box! There’s proof that video games aren’t entirely bad.
