Let the Voicethreading begin!

Today I introduced our Literature Circle Voicethread. I really think the students will enjoy responding in this format. Using Voicethread will encourage them to thoughtfully consider their answers before recording. It will support cooperative learning and higher order thinking. I look forward to seeing this project take shape with each discussion.

Wordling for homework!

My students really enjoyed using Wordle for a class assignment last week! Many of them began using Wordle to study their spelling words. They enjoy using the randomize button to see their creation in various colors and fonts. Wordle created excitement while making them think about their story vocabulary words!

Using the tools

For the the last two weeks my students and I have been practicing using the document camera, sentios and the slate. They picked up on how to use the tools quickly. I have introduced them to Wordle which will be one of their technology assignments with this week's story. We will also begin using the blog this week. I am very excited to see how they will respond to these tools and how it will impact their learning.
