Hello! One of my hobbies is to try new things in technology and education. So here is one that I have just discovered. Voice Thread is a web tool for having conversations around a picture, video, or any topic you can imagine. I am still trying to imagine all the ways I can use this in the classroom. In this voice thread you can hear the kids make comments about a book we just finished reading. But the really fun part…. is that you can also talk. If you have a microphone you can record your voice right from your computer. If not you can type a comment, or use your phone! Really there are five different ways that you can interact with us. Let’s play around with it and see how much fun we can have. If you have read the story talk about a part you remember/liked. If not, ask a question and we will try to answer it or tell about a special animal/doll/lovie that you had as a child.
All comments will be moderated by Mrs. Patterson
Hey Patterson’s Pack! I loved hearing you tell parts of the story about Edward! I still have the doll that was my favorite when I was a child. She’s a red cloth doll and her name is Milby. I took her everywhere I went, but sometimes I left her outside in the rain! She doesn’t look very good now, but I still love her!

Hi Patterson’s Pack! I really enjoyed hearing about Edward Tulane. When I was little my favorite stuffed animal was a dog named Brewster. I slept with him every night for a long time. I still have him. I would love to hear about your favorite stuffed animal:)

Hi Mrs P amd Year 1,
Your Voice Thread is amazing. We think our class needs to try making one. Sue takes a long time to figure out technology though so it might be a while coming!Happy Valentines Day
