In the Junior classroom, Marion Ahrens, the Literacy Support Teacher, uses an iPod with a Belkin Voice Recorder with students to improve their oral fluency. Students listen and self-assess their own reading as well as listen to reading passages of other students in order to provide feedback around strengths and next steps. Teachers find that listening to student reading on the iPod allows them to pick up on aspects of oral fluency they would normally miss in face-to-face conferences.

This week we took it division wide and we are adding an element.  The concept attainment data set is going to be recorded and kept on the device for students and/or teachers to access at any time if they need it.  Also, that way if a teacher is doing the initial lesson alone it is easier to do by accessing the audio clips.
