ATTACHMENTS (Photo, Video & Audio)
Use attachments to demonstrate readers’ abilities to make connections in their reading.
PHOTO ATTACHMENTS
• Readers can take a picture and upload it to an entry to demonstrate their connection to the text.
• Instead of typed comments, readers can write their comments and upload a picture of their response.
• Readers can take a picture of something that demonstrates a connection they made while reading.
VIDEO ATTACHMENTS
• Use this feature for Readers Theater!
• A great opportunity for students to create a video book report!
• Instead of typed comments, readers can record a video of their comments.
• Videos can be used to demonstrate connections to their reading.
• Readers can be recorded reading an excerpt of their book and fluency can be assessed.
• Use video in your reading assignments to get creative and encourage student engagement. Students can create their own videos to demonstrate their interpretations of the concepts they have learned in the classroom.
AUDIO ATTACHMENTS
• Use this feature for Readers Theater!
• Instead of typed comments, readers can record an audio of their comments.
• Fluency can be practiced and assessed with audio recordings.
The power of video and audio recordings is that the student can build up a whole collection of recordings that show their development over a period of time. These recordings are ideal to include in an e-portfolio and are excellent for assessment purposes, especially formative assessments.
