Switch Mixer Lite

Barrie over at One Switch has posted a great new activity called Switch Mixer Lite that plays wav sound effects randomly in a preset order or play the same sound repeatedly by pressing a switch (set your interface to "1").

This could be used as a cause and effect or in any or the following ways:

• convert songs to wavs (use mediaconverter.org or similar site) and use as a music player
• do the same with clips of audio books
  
• record a spelling list, math quiz or similar with each question as a single wav file and have the switch user administer the test to peers
• record commands for a game like red light/green light
• play sound effects for a haunted house or similar event
  
• play wavs of jokes
• record the numbers one through six or the colors, set to random and use as an audio dice or spinner
• record favorite quotes from a movie or book and play name the character
• record the opening line or two from songs and play name that tune

Free Single Switch Media Player

This is cool! It is a free single switch accessible media player! Now your students can DJ music from the computer! It should run on most systems except Mac/Linux and you will need Windows Media Player 9 or better.
