Recording with the microphone and capturing images with the cameras

Your XO has built-in cameras for still photography and video recording, so taking pictures and making videos are fun and easy. You can also use the camera for video conferencing, or talking to others on a video screen knowing that the others can also view your video.

Use the Record Activity to record your voice with the built-in microphone, or take pictures or video with the built-in XO camera.

Take a photo by aiming the camera lens at your subject, and then clicking the eye icon.

Record sounds by clicking the Record tab, and then clicking Audio. Click the lips icon to start recording your voice or any sounds nearby.

Record video by clicking the Record tab, and then clicking Video. Position the camera and then click the eye icon.

Switch to the Journal Activity to see thumbnails representing your pictures or videos or sound recordings.

You can share your pictures with others in the XO neighborhood.

What am I learning?

You can express yourself with sound, images, and video using the cameras and microphones. You are learning about light, observations, angle, and perspective.

Why is this important?

By recording sounds around you, others can learn about you, your culture, and environment. You can communicate with your voice and pictures. You can tell factual or emotional stories with film or pictures to help change perceptions or take action.
