Today my students took an active part in their education. I uploaded photos from their camping trip onto my voicethread account. Their warmup for the day was to write 2-3 sentences about their experience at camp. They could write about what they liked, did not like. They could write about what they will forever remember, or what scared them the most. At first they were reluctant for that they thought that it was just another usual written assignment. But once I explained to them the complete assignment, showed them the website ALL EYES lit up. Especially when it came to the fact that they could either write their experiences or say them. Most were excited that their voice was recorded and they could hear the playback.
Once we where done, I played for the class their finished product. The class enjoyed seeing and hearing their classmates experiences. I enjoyed how the voicethread allowed my class to share their thoughts in an unconventional way.
