Voice Thread Techonolgy Analyzation-Post 2

http://voicethread.com/share/44783/
In our group we picked the above voice thread about Kindergarten children creating stories on Mary Had a Little Lamb.  The children used multiple of the Bloom's High Order Thinking Skills in this activity by remembering the original story so that they could use this in the next part of the activity.  The next thing they did was Analyze the original story to better understand how to Create their own story.  The students also drew pictures along with their stories and their classmates were also allowed to comment on these to provide feedback and ask questions about these.  I think another thing the students could do is analyze the students pictures and try to interpret what is happening in their story without actually reading the actual story or hearing their peers explain it.  Below are links to the documents that we analyzed the voice thread in and what intelligences and higher order thinking skills were used in the voice thread.

Collaborative Student Tools-Blog Entry 1

I really like the Google Presentation tools, there are so many different things that I didn't know about them.  I think that they can be used for a lot of presentations and for many in-class projects for students to use and become familiar with technology.  The voice-thread activity that we are learning is a very good tool to use in the classroom because it is a good way to get students working together and figuring out ways that they can collaborate certain projects.  I think once I become more familiar with these tools and different ways to use them I will be able to come up with specific lessons that these tools would be the most beneficial for.
