Audioboo

Library friends,

I just had a wonderful time collaborating with the 3rd grade teachers at my school using the Audioboo app. I had heard of the app but never tried it, and I attended a wonderful session by Jenny Gorup at this year's state conference that made me determined to use it.

The 3rd grade teachers gave each of their students a mini-pumpkin and asked them to decorate it to look like a book character.  Their pumpkins were displayed on top of the lockers in the hallway, and the teachers jumped on board when I suggested we could add a technology piece by having kids create a script describing the book, kids could practice their reading fluency, and then use iPads to take photos of their projects and use Audioboo to record them reading the script.  I thought they turned out great and wanted to share.

You have to be sure to see these two:
