I currently do not know what my voicethread will be about, however I do know it will have something to do with Exploration and Colonization. In this voicethread, I will need to creatively group the students in order to make use of the two computers in the classroom. Once I begin writing my plan for this, I will make sure to link it to an updated

TIE lesson ideas

Following our TIE workshop, I was able to speak to my CT briefly about conducting a VoiceThread based lesson. Because there are only two computers available, we saw the need to somehow creatively group students for this activity so that each group will have a short amount of time at the computers, however I do not yet have any ideas about how to implement this. I did learn that the next six weeks will be entirely devoted to Exploration and Colonization, so it is a high likelihood that my TIE lesson will have something to do with this topic.

Protractors

We chose to review the voicethread Protractors. In this voicethread, the teacher uses a protractor tool to explain how to measure angles. We added a new aspect to this voicethread in order to incorporate higher order thinking skills and the pedagogical implications. View our Digital Blooms Taxonomy & Multiple Intelligences Activity Plan  and  Affordances/Pedagogical Implications Framework to see how we would extend this voicethread to better meet our students' needs.
