Well, a few days ago I finally had a few students who wanted to post to Voices of Cochrane. While they were writing their posts some of the other students gathered around and started asking questions. By the end of the class I had four more email addresses to add to the user list. Students are still working on the Cochrane Voicethread and they are excited about this project. I have two other groups of students working on other Voicethread projects. One is exploring the Mom’s Program and the other is exploring Workstudy Program at our school. I hope at least one of them will be ready to post by the end of this class. Most of my grade nine students have finished their ComicLife. One is quite good the other four are acceptable. I will link a few to the this blog when they are completed.
I thoroughly enjoyed the tour in Second Life last night. Unfortunately I was unable to stay until the end. I hope we have another opportunity to visit.

That is excellent. I’ve also had a breakthrough using Voicethread. Don’t you just love this technology? I’m so glad to see someone else in our system that is using this effectively. I look forward to seeing these on your blog soon. If you haven’t seen what I’ve done, please check it out, and let me know what you think: RyanFlood.wikispaces.com/artwork

Wow – what a great promotional video for Cochrane. Maybe they will show us this when I bring my Grade Seven’s over this Spring??

I’m so glad this is working out well for you. What a great opportunity for the students to write for an audience and connect with others.

Can’t wait to see the voicethread project. It will be a great promotional show for your school. Glad to hear that the students are gaining an interest as well.
Voicethread has become a great tool and everyday I am finding new ways to incorporate it in my classroom. I also like seeing how others are using as it gives us all new ideas

I also can’t wait to see the rest of the project Rosanne. The Voices of Cochrane is great. I’ll be following to get ideas.
