I would also have them tell about their science projects and social studies work. They also do monthly book reports, so they would tell us about their book reports. Since oral language is now a grade for their report cards, this would a great and fun way to record grades in that area. It would be a useful tool at parent conferences to point out positives and negatives on their reading skills.Chris Demonbreunhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16801425658610039388noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8562817105461401104.post-88507990016555382512012-03-23T19:32:09.831-04:002012-03-23T19:32:09.831-04:00This is awesome!

I would also use it to share with parents on my class blog... like sharing all the wonderful ideas they come up, they way they explain things... I would also use it to record a message for Mother's Day that I could later burn onto CD as send home as a keepsake gift! Wow, the ideas really are ENDLESS!!! :)Kimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11001287479122879355noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8562817105461401104.post-41701713099999752932012-03-21T18:25:34.146-04:002012-03-21T18:25:34.146-04:00I could see so many uses for this tool in my class...I could see so many uses for this tool in my classroom. First, I would could see recording a reading sample of each child at the beginning of the year and then another mid-year, and one at the end so I could show the students and parents at conferences how much their fluency has progressed over the course of the year. I could also see this being used at spelling to practice the weekly words. It could also be used with a "Read the Room" or word wall center. I think it would also be fun to have it at the poetry center so each child could practice their fluency recording themselves reading the weekly poem and hearing it play back. What a great motivator!!Lisettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00916608641682062198noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8562817105461401104.post-30467023430817347732012-03-21T07:46:36.834-04:002012-03-21T07:46:36.834-04:00I would love to be able to use the Easi-Speak to r...I would love to be able to use the Easi-Speak to record the children reading. Right now I am using my iPod so that I can show them how their voice sounds when reading aloud. It really is amazing how they don't believe me when I say they need to work on their fluency UNTIL I pull out my iPod and they actually hear themself! I'd love to have something that they could use independently!KellyCurlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09146147907953757674noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8562817105461401104.post-40620587087952427982012-03-21T02:06:08.605-04:002012-03-21T02:06:08.605-04:00Love the idea about being able to show kids what &...Love the idea about being able to show kids what 'fluency' is.
