Thing 7b

I revisited my google reader account today. I loved this article from Tech Savvy Educator about using SoundCloud to remake digital story telling. While SoundCloud requires you to have a login, you can record and share your sounds for free.

The author states, "It would be interesting to use SoundCloud to have students record their own reading using a tone that is discordant with the original intent of the author. It would certainly be a great way to demonstrate how important voice, tone, and mood are to a story, and give your students a chance to express themselves through performance."

With the new ELA Teks coming out, I can see how this type of activity could be used to teach author's voice. Fun! Another interesting app to check out and share with teachers.
