Subtext

I chose to write about the app Subtext. This app allows for teachers to have a book discussion online with their students. The teacher can search for any type of book or article that they would like their students to read and then discuss. They also offer both Fiction and Non Fiction. Once the teacher finds a book, they can upload it to the class discussion board. From there the students can read it and then upload a comment. This app allows for critical thinking, because the teacher can begin the discussion by asking a higher level question, and then students can take over. The teacher can also facilitate throughout the entire discussion. The teacher can also make it private to where no one can see the students response except for the teacher. Students will be very motivated and engaged during this, because they can to use technology to have a whole book discussion. It also allows for teachers to assess students by following the responses of each students during the discussion. This app does need an account, but you can just use your email and then add your class from there.

I would use this app with my students in order to get them to read more nonfiction or current events and then be able to use it to have a meaningful conversation. I would use this to go along with another project or a book study more as a supplement to my lesson instead of just using it on its own.
