Summary
This article talks about the use of web cams in the classroom. This article discussed students reading into the web cam and then watching the videos of themselves reading. This seems like a great way for students to hear the mistakes they are reading. This is also a great way for students to read out loud without being nervous about messing up in front of their peers and teacher. Also, this is a great way for students to get evaluated and helped one student at a time.
How could this be beneficial to speech therapy students?
I am interested in going into the field of speech therapy. I think that using web cams would be a great way for students to hear the mistakes they are making. Also, if I could do the session with them then they would be able to have a correct example as well as their own. Also, with the video those students who had problems with physical errors then they may be able to see where they are actually making the mistake.
How could parents get involved using web cams?
Parents could take a very important role in the use of web cams with their students. If parents were able to assist their students at home using this web cam reading method at home, it would be great practice for the children. Parents could help the children recognize their mistakes and also recognize their successes. If parents were able to take the time and practice with their children that extra help outside the classroom could make a huge change in the child's level of confidence. There are so many shy children who would appreciate the help at home in a place where they feel comfortable and not threatened by other children.
