[using voice recording tools]
This is cool; you can record your own voice! It helps you understand how to say the word, how you’re saying the word, and you can fix it. This practice will help. In the book we just always wrote everything down, whereas with this, you actually have to say it, record it, and answer it.
That’s pretty neat; I think it’s important not just to know how to write it, but also to speak it, because I can’t actually speak Spanish.
Oh my goodness, is this like recording your voice? So you can just record it? [RECORDS HERSELF] that’s really cool, and then you can listen to yourself? That is so cool. [LISTENS TO HER RECORDING] Oh my gosh! I want to learn Spanish with this!
[using the audio available in the eBook]
It’s good to hear it, because especially in Spanish class when we would do listening activities it goes so fast and you miss a lot of it. I think this would be good, you can come back on your own, listen to all of it, pause it as much as you need to.
[using glossary]
Yeah I really like this glossary, it’s really nice, and you’re not constantly looking in your dictionary. It’s nice that it’s all in the same website. You don’t have to be looking up another website while you’re on this… and the audio is awesome!
That’s good, switching from Spanish to English and English to Spanish!
[reacting to verb charts]
Like this, I wish I had this, this is really nice. Instead of pages and pages of notes with all the different verb charts on it…
Wow, that’s really cool. Yeah, that’s awesome. I mean, I’ve never seen anything like that. Usually you’re searching through your textbook to find the conjugations. This is really, really, neat. It’s so helpful!
[shown Today’s View]
I like the colors because they’re lighter and it’s easy to read and see where everything is. I like the layout because it’s simple, easy to find what you need.
I like the calendar a lot, right there on the screen. And the announcements.
[general]
I really think this would be awesome for learning Spanish; we never had anything like this before.
This is a cool thing; I wish I'd had this! Maybe I would've been good at Spanish! I really like this, I wish I had all these activities...I'm telling you, I wish we had this, it would be awesome.
