Audio labels on photographs using PowerPoint

It’s an old technique - but fun nevertheless. Take a photograph, for example this picture of a high rise block in West London.

Trellick Tower

Now copy the picture into PowerPoint. Plug a microphone into your PC and get students to add their voice annotations using the Insert / Movies and Sounds / Record Sound path. The results can be interesting.

This file was made by a group of Year 7 students studying the topic of settlement. The students themselves are from a small rural town in Somerset, UK.
