Transcript
I like to incorporate technology into the classroom in our literacy activities, so here I have a website entitled Storyline Online. This is a fantastic site for those English Language Learners as well as for pre-K and K students. Basically, it's an actor or actress who is reading aloud a lot of children's favorite story books. Students simply click on their favorite story book and it's magically read aloud to them.
