While researching audacity, I found myself distracted thinking about the ways I could use this. I think it could be very useful in building fluency for young readers. Recording their reading and then having them reread while listening to the recording would help to meet some of those auditory learners needs. I can see it working well with fluency. I feel this would be something that would work well for our struggling learners and might also prove beneficial to those with special needs.
I am thinking it would be nice to use to transfer learning CD's such as our anthology storied onto an Ipod. This could them be used in the classroom (which doesn't change from the CD), but it could also be made available to students. Once again this would help with fluency.
I am going to try to record a few of my students reading a leveled reader to see how it turns out.

It would be great that the students could access the voicethreads at home. That way they could listen to the learning CD's as a review while studying.
ReplyDeleteI love the idea of using Audacity for fluency! Let me know if you try this.
