Subject: RE: audio tapes or discs
Whoa! Micky! More work for us!!???
We finally got relieved from copying millions of tapes; now we will
have to copy millions of files? I know it goes more quickly, but still,
with all the pressure of getting everything organized, having to start
testing (and there are less of us doing so this year since any teacher
without a license cannot test - I know there shouldn't be teachers
teaching without lisences,,, that's another story) we do not need more
pressure on us of dealing with technology that might or might not work.
PLEASE think up a suggestion that could have it better for the kids
and NOT pile more work up for us teachers on Bagrut day!

Jacquie,
I agree with you 100% - except for the MP3 players. I don't think that MP3s are "another story". Very few of my LD students even have discmen anymore - they are all walking around with these little cheap MP3 players (my daughter got one for subscribing to Maariv Le'Noar for only 30 shekels extra).
I think the ministry should consider changing directly to MP3s and not even bother with CDs.
Just think: the schools could receive one copy of the files (or even
download them from a secure Internet site) and then copy them onto the students' players from any computer with a USB port.
I wonder how much money it would save NOT to have multiple copies of cassette tapes made and sent to each school?
