Explain Everything is one of the most versatile apps we use in our classroom! Explain Everything is a whiteboard and screencasting app that is great for flipping the learning in your classroom or using a blended learning approach. It's great for creating informational videos and how to videos. Currently, we are using Explain Everything to practice our fluency. I can't take credit for this genius idea! This idea was shared on Twitter and I knew immediately we had to try this! You could also do something similar using the iPad camera.
Step 1: In Explain Everything, take a picture of a page in your "just right" book.
Step 2: Record yourself reading the page for 1 minute.
Step 3: Listen to your recording so you can hear yourself read.
Step 4: Practice reading that page 3 times.
Step 5: Recording yourself again, reading the same page. Do you sound more fluent? Where you able to read more words? Did you expression and intonation?
My students are begging me to practice fluency, even students who don't like to read aloud!
