This is part 6 in a 12 part series. The first five skills were Pattern Recognition, Environmental Scanning, Network Weaving, Foresight, and Conscious Awareness.

Storytelling is evident in every culture, and is something that is still so important.   In a way, even ScoopIt is a form of modern story telling.

I have been using these tools with my students in order to improve their speaking. I give them an English text and they have to record it during the week (It's a weekly activity). After that they bring the mp3 file to class and I correct it and they receive feedback. Later, the original audio of the text is given to them and they study to record again. They really enjoy it !!!

Audacity

http://audacityteam.org/

 

Audacity is free cross platform, open source software for recording and editing sound.

 

Great for recording students assessments. Students are motivated by end of unit recordings. It is free and is a great tool for teachers to listen back to performances when marking them.
