Learning Resources HearAll Assessment Recorder

Who said a teacher can't be in 2 places at once!!

This little blue tool allows you to do just that and so much more.

Learning Resources has thought of everything... this particiular goodie is called HearALL Assessment Recorder. It is durable, easy to assemble and very entertaining.

It is basically a lightweight portable recorder that is small, compact and requires NO batteries!!! wAHOO!. It charges by USB to your computer and doesn't require software to be installed. It has microphones on all four corners and a built in speaker in the middle, allowing you to capture sounds fantastically. It was fabulous in groups because everyone's response could be heard clearly.

I've also used it with parent volunteers... during reading assessments. After recording my kiddos I was able to take the device home and listen for myself.

The kids enjoyed listening to various faculty members read some of our favorite pictures books and of course they LOVED recording themselves and playing it back

I LOVE using this in my classroom! It has so many uses...so far we've used it for:

Partner reading

Individual student reading

Workstation conversations (can we say accountability?)

Readers theaters

What I like MOST about it is how it motivates my reluctant readers, or the ones who spend reading workshop time "reading". The kiddos LOVE using it, & it really keeps them engaged and on track.

It has some other great features, too:

No batteries! It charges off your computer.

Audio files can be easily downloaded.

Easy to use!!

It picks up the voices of several children who are working around it, & plays back nice & clear. There's not even much background noise from all of the other kids in the room!

Another great tool from from Learning Resources is the HearAll Assessment Recorder. This handy little device works great with groups and allows me to go back and listen to the recordings and plan what I will work on the next time I meet with the group. I also like that it can hold up to 4 hours of recordings!

When this product first arrived, I was in awe of its lightweight and small size, yet it seems very durable. It is made for small children to use, as it doesn't contain any knobs or parts that could break off easily and the buttons are large and color-coded. Great design! The microphones pick up multiple voices with little background noise...perfect for our busy classroom! This device is perfect for using when my students are working in small groups for projects, reading readers' theater scripts together, and/or reading and holding book discussions in small groups. As a teacher, I often feel like I need to be in more than one place at a time and the HearALL helps me do just that! I can see if the groups I'm not meeting with were on task, working cooperatively, and what skills/strategies I need to work with them on when I do meet with them next...all by just playing back the recording of their interactions.

I also love that it is so easy to transfer the recorded files to the computer. What an easy way to create podcasts or just share recordings with parents!

There are many, many ways this device could be used in the classroom. My only problem is that now I need more of them! :)

Young students will be able to figure out the buttons and use the tool effectively. I appreciate the size of this tool for easy storage and that the hearAll is lightweight. I believe the quality of the voice recording to be true to life, not stuffy nose or robotic sounding.

This is a fantastic tool for a busy teacher who wants to authentically assess student interaction and group work.
