Step 14:It’s time to record! When

you are ready, you will need to plug in a

microphone with the older model of iTouch, otherwise you will see this message. Some of the newer models may

not need a separate microphone, but the

voice recording quality may be better with the

microphone headphones from Apple.


Step 15:Once your microphone is set to record, you will

see this page with a photo. You can slide

through the photos with your finger at any time in

case the order isn’t exactly right. When you are prepared to begin

recording, push the red button at the bottom

where it says to tap here to begin. Many students

don’t see this. 19Saturday, November 3, 12

Step 16:If the top is red, it is

recording. Narrate the story/report/project and

change pictures by wiping your finger across

the screen.

FYI: You can pause and resume the recording by tapping the middle pause

button at any time.


Step 17:Pause the recording to finish the movie. On the bottom-right side of the

screen, tap the arrow jumping out of the

screen to end recording.

the white button that says Save. To Delete
