The Power of Voice - Share the Story

Sometimes I think we forget how powerful our class iPad devices can be. We are often engaged in apps or searching in Safari but we often forget what else comes automatically with our devices. The camera is a very powerful tool. Not only does it allow our students to capture photos of their work in progress, but it also allows them to capture videos of their learning. What better way to share in the moment learning by encouraging your students to capture their activities in a quick and simple video. Imagine being able to send how a reading sample at the beginning of each month so families can really hear how their child is doing with their reading? Or maybe have af friend record another friend solving a challenging math problem. Imagine how happy a family would be if they could "see" and "hear" their child present a project they have been working on with them at home. If you're fortunate your school district has a place for. you to safely store these artifacts of learning. If you're not perhaps you can email these artifacts of learning to your student's care givers. Sometimes we forget the power of the camera and in particular the power of video and voice recording. Don't forget to use your iPad's and share the stories.
