TIE Blog 2

I was surprised how much I learned in ETEC and I'm really excited about using it in my own classroom. There were a few things that made it difficult schedule wise to implement in the Voicethread and utilize it to its fullest potential. Overall, I found that this course introduced me to Google Docs, which ended up coming in handy in my other classes. Also, the idea of Voicethread was very new to me and I enjoyed working with the students to put this project together. I look forward to starting a new Voicethread project in the future!

I can see that a lot of students are reading for fun, so I thought it would be a great idea to give the other students an opportunity to see their favorite book. Students were asked to think about the following questions when doing the Voicethread. 1. What is your favorite book and why? 2. What is the setting? 3. What is the conflict? 4. Who are the main characters? 5. What is the turning point? Bloom's/ Multiple Intellegences
