I have been out yesterday and today because of an illness, but will be back on Monday. The students have started their new project on energy this week. They were in the computer lab on Wednesday and today. The groups set up their voicethreads accounts and will be ready to start putting images on it and recording their information on Monday. I wanted them to get a really good start on their research before they got started on the voicethread. This is a new computer tool for them, but is similar to Photo Story that they used for the last project. It is very user friendly and can still be accessed from home, so if someone is absent or needs more time, they can work from home. Voicethreads use images that the students find about their topic and then they record what they want to tell us about those images. The difference between this and Photo Story is that students can doodle on their images to point out specific areas, if needed, and there is no background music available. It is a very fun way to do a project, too. I hope that they like it as much as they did the Photo Story. Well, that is about it for this week. I wanted to get on here and let everyone know what was going on, even though I could not be at school. I will talk to you next week! Have a good weekend!
