Using Ipad in Reading

LOVE THIS!!! What a perfect example to show how technology can enhance learning! This video shows a system called the 3 R's- reread, record and reflect to improve fluency. The students are also given an assessment tool to judge how they have read. Programs like Read Naturally have a similar process but I really liked that students could pick any book in their skill level while practicing fluency. By reading books of their choice, they may have more of a commitment to the process. The students in this video are tech savvy enough to be independent. How do others feel about this type of fluency practice? I can see older students completing the "3 R's" especially if they had earphones to listen to their own voice/recording.
