Proposal summary

Purpose & objective

In today's world, students need to be able to effectively present information in a variety of ways, not just with paper and pencil. Video and Audio in the classroom provide every student the opportunity to share their thoughts, reflect on their learning, practice their speaking skills, retell a story and answer questions posed by the teacher. Many times, students will be hesitant to speak out in class, but through the use of various video and audio tools, most students will say things to a computer that they would not say out loud in class. Audio and video recording tools can be used as a method for students to reflect on their learning, practice their reading and communication skills, and to present information to others. Teachers can use these same tools for formative assessment and support their instruction.
This presentation will include a variety of web-based tech tools and apps that allow students to create audio and video content including, but not limited to:
-Vocaroo
-Flipgrid
-Write Reader
-Screencastify
-Adobe Spark Video
-Seesaw
-Chatterpix Kids
-PhotoSpeak
