Audio Project completed

I made recordings of my students reading with Audacity. Each student read of their independent reading books for about a minute. I then had them listen to themselves on headphones. They were to check for fluency, accuracy, and inflections in their voices. Most of the students really enjoyed the opportunity to listen to themselves, and were surprised with the number of mistakes they made or how fast they read. Next time I will use a mic from the library. Some of my students read to softly for the computers mic, which made it difficult to hear on playback. I am trying to upload the WAV file of some of my students but I am unable to.

Audio Project Idea Nahlik

I was planning on having some of my struggling readers record themselves while reading with Audacity. They will then be able to replay their recording over to hear how they sound. They will be able to check for fluency and fluctuations.
