I think this is a great idea and would love to be on board with it (perhaps in some type of collaboration with the elementary teachers?).

Dr. Okoye,
Thansk for the information. This is a great idea. I have been using this with my students. I have been recording them on the digital recorder reading the same passage repeatedly. I have seen the increase in the fluency levels as well as the accuracy and self correcting. I also see the students attempting with greater effort to decode multisyllabic words.
I would love to do this with the poems and documenting the data. We just started this so this would be great. I will look for some of the authors in our library on Monday. I am anxious to talk further about this. Please contact me when you are at Victory.

Thanks so much for all of your encouragement and help.

Mrs. Goolsby

You are so cute! I made a wild self and chose some of the same features without seeing yours.

I agree 100%. Technology is the tool not the teacher. When used correctly by teachers and students, technology can be a powerful integer to learning.

I like “naked learning” and hope that I fall on that side of the technology fence.

I guess now that I have been “officially” notified of my award, I should know more about this group. So what’s it all about, Alfie?
