Tools

There are several tools you will need to successfully have a class take an oral test using iPod Touches as voice recorders.

Prerequisites: None.

1. You will need the Bretford Power Station.

2. Enough iPods for the students to have 1 apiece. Uni has 40 iPods, which is easily enough for every student in one language class to take a test at the same time.

3. Likewise, enough external iPod Microphones for each iPod being used to have one.

4. A computer with the free application iTunes and at least 2 USB slots. The Power Station can be used with either a laptop or a desktop, and it is compatible with Mac and Windows operating systems. At Uni, we only use the Mac laptop which is kept inside of the Power Station.
