Hi
It's that time of year again when we all have to wake up to 20th century
technology while we are well into the 21st.
I have taken part in this etni debate numerous times in the past, so excuse me
for having the dejavu feeling. We have been using mps for years with our kids
at Maayan High School. Now that the tests are sent on discs our work is much
easier. However, we do have the problem of ripping the tracks from the disc to
mp3 format. It is by far much quicker and easier than the previous cassette
transfer, but it is still annoying. Why cn't we just get the ministry to email
the schools mp3 files the morning of the exam? Simplicity works!!!
Just for the record, we DON'T buy the mp3s for the kids - they bring us their
'machines', with the chords that go with them. They have to bring them to us
some 24 hours prior to their exam - EACH exam, not just the bagrut, and they
are labeled with their name and the module they are doing. It works well. With
all the 'ripping' and recording that goes on, as well as oral tests and
recording to to tapes, I don't exactly get to see the bagrut papers till the
following day, at the earliest. I am sure other racazim like me are in a
similar situation
I know it has taken years for the ministry to move from cassettes to discs but
now we need to get together in urging the ministry testing department to move
from discs to mp3s.
Good luck to everyone on Thursday
