Day 39: Mackenzie, 2nd grade student

Using VoiceThread to Share Learning

Recently, Mackenzie, a 2nd grade student in Mrs. Potter's class, explored VoiceThread.  VoiceThread is a social way of sharing your thoughts and ideas with others.

"You can do this anywhere there is a computer," explains Mackenzie.  "I can see myself going to different schools' [VoiceThread sites] and talking to different students on their VoiceThread and making comments."

Mackenzie and her class learned how readers describe characters by thinking about the character's traits.  She also learned that it is important to include evidence from the text when she describes characters.

Take a look at the VoiceThread Mackenzie and her classmates put together.  Use the buttons on the bottom of the VoiceThread to navigate between threads.
