Looking for a Digital Partner?

Help Wanted:  I'm starting up a digital project using Voicethread that seeks to engage kids from around the world in conversations about their communities.  It's called Welcome to Our World...and I'd love for you to join us!

Here's a handout that includes teacher directions and student handouts:

Download handout_welcome_to_our_world.doc

And here's a small version of the project:

You can also visit the Voicethread directly at:  http://ed.voicethread.com/share/20319/

So what do you think?  Does this meet any of your curriculuar goals?  (For us, it addresses the geography elements of our social studies curriculum and the inferring elements of our reading curriculum.)

If so, jump in!  Could be an exciting experience for our kids....And Voicethread is so darn easy to use that technology competence isn't even all that important!

Rock on,

Bill

Bill,

I'd like to get one of my teachers involved with your project; however, Central Office tech folks are concerned about opening Voice Thread for the students. Can you give me any advice?
