Technology Intergration Experience (TIE) Thoughts

I have been exploring different VoiceThreads to see what would best fit my 1st grade classroom. I have seen a couple of different ones that I think the kids would really enjoy. One of the ones that caught my eye was Publishing Writing in Oral Form. The students are given a topic to write about then; they draw a picture related to their story. They will then read their own story. Another one I liked was, Using Thinking Tools. The teacher called it the prediction key. The students need to use their imagination to answer the question you give them. It lets the students be as creative as they want when thinking of their answer.  I am excited to learn more about VoiceThread because I think tying in technology with the content area is a great way to make learning fun and interesting for the students.
