I selected the tool "Audio" to explore and implement in my classroom this year. I have a mac computer, so Garage Band is an application that I currently have.
My daughters have enjoyed Garage Band for years. But I never have experimented with it.
It's totally cool!
I will utilize the audio component of Garage Band to enhance fluency with second grade readers.
I can record my voice reading a story or passage, and assign a student or students to choral read with my voice. Another option would be to record the student reading, and have him/her listen back. They will practice the story or passage until they wish to re-record and monitor their progress toward "smooth reading." There are other fun components to Garage Band, but I will most likely not use them as a learning center or activity choice this year.
Sounds great! Not having a Mac, I didn't know that Garage Band had other options besides creating music!
