Voice+Threads

 [|US Colonies] - This voice thread is about the original 13 US colonies. The students have to watch a video and then complete the assignment. They will be working with other students answering the questions asked in the thread. By using this new form of technology, a new side of creativity is brought out within the students. They are allowed to use their voices instead of just typing. This is a great way to learn and review the history lesson.  [|Math Unit] - This voice thread is a review to a unit in math. It reviews lines, segments, and polygons. Students will be able to work with others to help study for tests. This is better than other types of projects because it allows students to work together to review and work with others to study.  [|Match Game- Language Arts] - This voice thread is a game for our language arts class. It is a synonm game. Students will work together to match each word to their like word. It is a great, new, fun way for students to use technology to learn. It is better than other ways because you can use your voice to read the word aloud and hear the pronunciation of the word. It is a great game to play while learning at the same time!

The objective of the voice thread that I made was to review the lesson on the 13 US colonies. It is intended for a fourth grade social studies classroom. On this particular video thread, it gives a link to a very helpful website, perfect for reviewing as well as really makes the students think because they have to compare and contrast the different colonies. At the end of the thread, they are asked to memorize where each colony is located, and then fill in the blanks. It is a great way to get the students thinking and interacting.
