TWT2010_14.+Using+Voicethread+in+Social+Studies,+Language+Arts+and+Science

Description:
We will look at the curricular dilemmas that inspired the search for web based solutions and how Voicethread was applied to meet these needs. I will share examples of student work and show how homework done on the web site is used to facilitate classroom discussions. The specific examples will come from: The 5th grade's study of the Bayeux Tapestry, a 4th grade science investigation on the skull structure of mammals, two 5th grade literacy units, one on descriptive writing the other on memoir and a 4th and 5th grade ethics project where students examine different family structures.
