2. Student’s Needs First
Engage writers in real tasks
& use technology in a way
that compliments their
innate need to find purpose
and audiences for their
work, we can have them
engaged in the digital
writing process that 1st
focuses on the writer, then
on the writing, then on the
technology.

5/10-18 this slide is DONEVT has allowed us to extend out classroom beyond ours walls, and the clock and time zones! It has allowed all kids equal time to have a voice! It has given comments equal weight and everyone a chance to be heard. VT allows kids opportunity to prepare, practice comments easing comfort levels, increases involvement of parents and grandparents, better tool for assessments in younger students who are more verbal.
5-23-With VoiceThread, group conversations are collected and shared in one place from anywhere in the world. A VoiceThread is a collaborative, multimedia slide show that holds images, documents, and videos and allows people to navigate slides and leave comments in 5 ways - using voice (with a mic or telephone), text, audio file, or video (via a webcam). Share a VoiceThread with friends, students, and colleagues for them to record comments too.Users can doodle while commenting, use multiple identities, and pick which comments are shown through moderation. VoiceThreads can even be embedded to show and receive comments on other websites and exported to MP3 players or DVDs to play as archival movies
