Description of activity with detailed steps

Teacher led activity

  • Like we discussed earlier, this is a cumulative activity. Your teacher will demonstrate combining together audio with the previous formats of resources we created. You will be adding audio to materials you have created earlier. We will do this by using a method called screencast recording, using an application called Record my Desktop. Here we will record all the working of an application as it is playing on the screen. A text document, or an image slide show or a poster or an animation any resource can be recorded. To this we will add narration to make it an audio visual communication.
  • Your teacher will take an example of any textual material created and capture the screencast recording while adding her narration. This will produce an audio visual communication.
  • Your teacher will draw your attention to how we pause, how long we pause at a visual, how much narration to add for any visual, how to breathe while recording and also how to minimise external sounds when recording.
  • She will also show you the file format and size of the video file and the difference between audio files and video files.

You can make your audio visual communication on any of the following:

  1. Adding voice narration to a photo and image essay
  2. Reading aloud the illustrated songs and stories
