Here’s a project that we started back during “March Is Reading Month.” After seeing what Amy Burvall creates for her high school History students, Mrs. Moore was inspired to try a small scale version with our elementary classes.

We are still just tinkering with ‘voicethread’, it does look like a very impressive tool. I thought you did a good job. The sound is a little feint, although some children are clearer than others, were they nearer the microphone? It could be that a better quality microphone would help. However the content of the work is good, especially when a question is asked. In a sense it seems that quality voicethread comments are similar to quality blog comments. I will follow your voicethread developments with great interest.
You guys get through a lot of work!

hi I want to comment on your pictures. they are totally awesome I like the pictures of the colourful flowers because their little smiling faces are so cute and I was wondering if they were done on the computer or by hand?. I like what you’ve said about the slide show. I think I should make a blog one day when I get the time. I think that your blog is sooo cool because of all the information that you gave us. After reading your blog i’ve learnt a lot abou the environment. Your slide show is totally cool and you should make more of them. I would like to comment about journey back to lumberjack camp, I think that the background is cool because its old looking and its real, I wonder how life was back then. anyway, I hope you make more slide shows in the future and if you do I will totally look at them all, see you soon.
