How I created my voicethread

I found a creation on you tube and followed the instructions. It took several attempts to creat it and then upload it to my blog post. I still do not know if I did this right, for some reason it does not look correct. I think I will go look at others to see what they have done. Till then bewitched, bothered and bewildered am I

Google Docs Sets Class on Fire

Today, I took my two of my classes into the lab to have them respond to a journal question I had earlier assigned from the novel, To Kill A Mockingbird. The students created their own Google Docs accounts earlier in the week-during class and at home. When we arrived at the lab, and everyone finally settled down to do the assigt, they had a blast. Each student invited me and at least one other person in the class onto their account. Students responded to the journal, to each other, and chattedd to each other while online. They were really excited to see what each other had written, and they gave some very interesting comments to each other. They stayed on task and were focused, ready to respond to each journal entry. I was relieved to see they were truly enjoying online writing and when it was time to leave, they were actually disappointed. One student asked if we could do this everyday. To actually put into practice, not only what I learned in this class, but what our books have been advocating, was extremely rewarding.
