VoiceThread

Today Jennifer and I, along with a colleague from Jennifer's school (Karen), are attending a VoiceThread PD session offered by the ABEL network.
While I have made an initial attempt to use VoiceThreads with my grade 2 students, I ran in to a few glitches from getting the microphones working to determining the best way to create a VoiceThread, without giving the students individual email accounts.

Over the last few days, I have been "tweeting" my twitter friends to gather more information about VoiceThread. Many of my new friends have suggested that I get an educator account...so I'm hoping to hear more about that today at the VoiceThread session.

My class was excited to hear that I would be learning more about this web 2.0 tool. They are excited to try it again with me at school and to be technology leaders in our school.

Stay tuned to see our first official voicethread (hopefully) after the training I get from this session.
