Voice Threads Voice Threads

I learned to "do" Voice Threads a while ago BUT couldn't think of exactly how I could use them in a meaningful way for my classroom.  After visiting my good friend Mrs. Griffith's webpage I was inspired! Voice Threads are a very user friendly way for the kids to practice oral reading fluency and tell what they know about a topic. You will also see that Voice Threads are interactive with listeners being able to comment on the students' work by either typing in or recording a message.

You'll noticed I used some "crazy" pictures of the kids for their VoiceThread postings. We created these fun pictures by using PhotoBooth on the MacBook.  We worked in small groups to learn about all of the different fun effects available in the program and how to use it. Then each child chose his/her own special effect and snapped his/her own photo. It was LOTS of fun and we'll use PhotoBooth again for a writing project later on in October.   
 
 Our first VoiceThreads of the year are about our best friends.
