Literacy Project

So for my literacy project, I decided to attempt a voice thread.  Overall, I feel it came out great.  My students are just starting to look a poetry so we did an acrostic poem with our names to begin.  The students took off with this poem, and it came out fantastic.  They loved recording their poems, and even getting time to comment on each others.  I could definitely see myself using this tool again!1  My students really enjoyed it.  The only challenge I came across was getting the microphone to work at school, as you can see though I came over that hump and we got the microphone working, from there it was a piece of cake!!  I hope you enjoy our poetry.

Just a trial of Voice Thread

Voice Thread...Literacy Project???

Alright, so I am sitting here thinking about my literacy project.  I am thinking that my students are starting poetry and I thought it would be a great idea for my students to start with an acrostic poem using their names.  I will them have them illustrate their poem too, and record it using voice thread!  I think that they will really enjoy this!!  Any other thoughts if this is a good idea??  I really want to make sure it comes out great!!!

Voice Threads

 WOW!!  This whole idea might be the craziest.  Wasn't sure what this all meant but stumbled upon this Voice Thread website, which gave a great tutorial to me!  The idea of using this kind of makes me think of a Wiki except that you have have this conversation at present time!!  What a great way to do a group project!!!
