1. Voicethread has been one of the most important tools I have used this year in terms of online collaboration. What pedagogical doors does Voicethread unlock for a teacher?
2. You may have noticed we have been using Google Docs quite extensively in my year group (9-10 yr olds), I asked my children about the biggest challenge they faced when using it collaboratively and the aspect they enjoyed the most. What do you think they said?
3. This is a picture from one of my lessons - but what does it reveal about my classroom? What does it mean to you?
3. DUE: Review Connecting to Information and/or What Is RSS for an introduction to RSS. Then review What Is RSS and Why Should I Care.
