[Menvi-discuss] Accessible Digital Recorders

Wed Feb 5 03:04:55 EST 2014

Yes both the IPod Touch 5th Generation and the iPhone 5S and I hear the 
IPad is good at recording as well, but they only record in .wav and the 
original poster wanted mp3.

Teachers have a sacred task:
It is to give children the skills to understand the world and an expectation that the world is a trustworthy place; that it is full of light, and love, and music and that each student deserves--and will have--their own place in it and the chance to play their own song.
And, as much of these expectations are transmitted non-verbally—and in Chela’s case--out of sight…it is the voice and touch of a Teacher that sheds light on what the world can be.
Academics—and no one will ever change my mind on this—take a distant second place. —Dr. Bil Hawkins
