One of Apple’s most popular applications is iMovie. Sure, it allows people to create slideshows of their photos and make movies of family vacations. But what people don’t realize is how it can also help a student become a better listener.
No, I’m not talking about watching movie after movie to get better, I’m talking about recording yourself when participating in a discussion to see how you listen. Right now, this is the kind of work we’re doing in class, and it’s making a difference. Students are recording their partner talks and watching them back to see what they’re doing well and where they need to improve.
This is just one way that technology is making an impact for learning. What once could have taken an elaborate set up of cameras, cords, and collaboration can now happen with a single button. I’m wondering what other applications or tools we have right at our fingertips that can make a huge impact. If you know of any, please add a comment.
