Rosetta+Stone

Speech Recognition is NOT part of the SMS (Student Management System) in Rosetta Stone. A teacher CANNOT assign the speech lessons as part of a course of study. However, using the speech recognition is a valuable part of Rosetta Stone. It can be accessed easily using the following directions:
 * __ Using Speech Recognition in Rosetta Stone. __**


 * 1) Login to Rosetta Stone with Student User ID and password (esl)
 * 2) Click on the settings icon (the left hand of the three icons in the bottom right of the screen)
 * 3) A new window opens up. Click on Logout
 * 4) Now you can select the lesson you want. Speech recognition is one of the options

__Rosetta Stone for the Classroom Teacher__

 * A.** **__Introduction__**

Rosetta Stone is now available from any computer in the district. Students who are beginners in the ESL program are registered as users by the ESL department. The ESL parapros have been encouraged to select a series of appropriate lessons for their students. The parapros are learning this program too, and so the lessons may or may not yet be selected. However, either way the ESL students in your room can still use the program. The ESL staff have access to headphones with microphones. Using these will lead to a much better experience for the students.

If you are using your computer with your login, you will see two icons: Rosetta Stone Guest and Rosetta Stone Student. The Guest login is for everyone. The Student login is only for students who have a prescribed set of lessons assigned by the ESL staff.

If a student is using a student computer they will need to log in to the computer as follows:
 * **School** || **Login ID** || **Password** ||
 * Commerce || COMESL || ESL ||
 * Dublin || DUBESL || ESL0 ||
 * Glengary || GLENESL || ESL ||
 * Hickory Woods || HWESL || ESL ||
 * Meadowbrook || MBESL || ESL ||
 * Twin Beach || TBESL || ESL ||
 * Pleasant Lake || PLESL || ESL ||
 * Walled Lake EL || WLESL || ESL ||
 * Loon Lake || LLESL || ESL ||
 * Oakley Park || OPESL || ESL ||
 * Maple || MAPESL || ESL ||
 * Keith || KTHESL || ESL ||
 * Guest || GUESL || ESL ||
 * Wixom || WIXESL || ESL ||
 * Geisler || ROSGMS || stone ||
 * Banks || ROSBANKS || stone ||
 * Creek || CRKESL || stone ||
 * Smart || CHSESL || stone ||
 * Central || WLCESL || stone ||
 * Northern || WLNESL || stone ||
 * Western || WLWESL || stone ||

Please check with the ESL staff to see whether lessons have been prescribed for your particular student. If they have, the student (and you) will need to know the user name and password that have been assigned. (For most students their user name is made up of their whole last name followed by their first initial. The password is always ESL)

If you would like to test this out without using your own student, there are four test students: shawa; shawp; shaws; and shawt. Passwords are ESL. Feel free to ‘pretend’ to be any one of these to help you become familiar with the program.
