I have found another neat tool to use in my classroom and with my own kids. I also learned something about my digital camera. It can record a short video clip! I am so excited to use this in my class and I am even more excited that I can link the videos to my blog! Earlier I talked about the use of blogs to share and respond to books read. Adding the video component of students orally sharing books that they have read will be a bonus.
In the video that I have uploaded here you can watch my daughter recite the nursery rhyme "The Itsy Bitsy Spider". Which brings me to another use for this tool in the classroom. We do a lot of things with poems in my 3rd grade class and one of my students favorite things to do is "perform" poems that they have learned. I think it would be really neat to record my students performing their favorite poem and post it to our blog. Then myself as well as their classmates can comment on their performance. Of course I will have to teach my students the appropriate ways compliment and respond to each other's performance.
