I'm so excited to bring you another great product from Learning Resources! This time we have the MeCorder…check it out…
The MeCorder is a mini video recorder that holds up to 30 seconds of video, which you can download to your computer to save and share. As you can see it is small, fits right in the palm of my hand…which makes it easy to handle for little hands 🙂 There are three buttons on the front face to power on/off, record, and playback. There are no batteries (yay!), you just plug it into your computer with the included USB cord to charge/upload. It also has a magnetic back.
When you record, you can see yourself (or me taking a picture of myself) and once a video is recorded, there is a blue LED light that flashes indicating there is a new video. The video stays put until you record over it.
So far, I have used this with my articulation kiddos…they really liked using it! For one of my older students, he did a monologue (he's into drama) and then watched the playback. We had a great discussion on his articulation and he was able to judge his accuracy! It was an awesome activity for him. For a couple of my younger students, I let them do this at the end of a session and we saved it to the computer. I plan to use it as progress monitoring as they move through levels with their target phonemes. Every kid loves watching themselves! I could also see using it as a warm up activity for an artic group.
You could also use for
- following directions
- center instructions (if you do rotations)
- fluency/voice practice
- sharing progress with teachers/parents
- social cuing
- carryover practice of ANY skill
- this list could go on forever!
The draw back…only 30 seconds of video and you have to dump to your computer to save any video…this means if you are working with a group, you would have to connect to your computer to download each video after each kid.
The MeCorder is available from Learning Resources for $59.99, but they are super awesome and want to give one to another reader! Enter via the Rafflecopter below and good luck!

![Speech-Language Pathologists (SLPs) play a crucial role in children's language development. One often overlooked but highly beneficial area to incorporate into speech therapy sessions is print knowledge. Understanding the importance of print knowledge can enhance therapy outcomes and foster literacy skills in children.

This would be highly motivating and help with prompting a quick response.
What a great way to motivate the kids….and therapists!

this could be a fun positive reinforcement tool, good for artic voice or fluency
I think this would be great feedback for one of my lispers!
This would be great to my son’s teacher
The kids would love this! Thanks for the giveaway.
Great tool for feedback and would be fun to use too.
I think this would be great for my younger students who I have to have close documentation on to show what kind of progress they are making. Also I have several articulation students who need more audio/visual feedback.
Using it for articulation sounds like a good idea! I use my phone sometimes to record videos, but this seems easier.
An easy tool to take and use in lots of settings besides the speech room.
I would love this for my articulation and fluency clients;).
Thanks for all you do… I think this would be a great motivator for all of my kiddos!
This would be wonderful for my articulation students and I have a few mod-severe students who would LOVE being able to record and see themselves. It would be fun having them retell stories stories and downloading it onto the computer as a “movie.”
I would love to try this with articulation and fluency kids!
