Student Oral Reports with School Hallway Dioramas via AudioBoo

By Wesley Fryer On February 14, 2013 · · 1 Comment

Hello there! If you are new here, you might want to subscribe to the RSS feed for updates on this topic.

I took the following photographs today in the hallway at Independence Elementary School in Yukon, Oklahoma. The GT teacher, Dawn Dukes, has helped students create audio narrations (powered by AudioBoo) linked via QR codes for independent study projects students completed recently. It’s a high-tech museum-like audio tour, in the hallways of IES in Yukon. What a great use of educational technology tools to help students practice their oral language skills as required by the Common Core State Standards! It’s especially cool since the library at IES has iPod Touches for students to check out, pre-loaded with QR Code reader apps like i-Nigma so students can listen to their peers share their reports.

I’ve embedded the accompanying audio recordings below each photo so you can check them out too!
