Activity 1 (VoiceThread) - ITES & Pedagogy
must sign in to use VoiceThread
create a slide and narrate it (like Power Point or Prezi)
users can then comment on the slides

This would be great to use in an individual lesson in the classroom where I would create slides and narrate them.  Then I could ask a question at the end of each slide (opinion and higher-level thinking questions would be great) that the students should respond to at the end of each slide.

Activity 2 (Google Docs) - KWHL
What have I learned?
posted in the KWHL chart: 

I have learned that there are amazing resources available to me that I never knew about!  (This is always nice.)  I have used them a bit and can now implement them into the curriculum I teach in my classroom!  I have (mostly) learned the ITES strands and have a better understanding of how they relate to the CC objectives.



Activity 3 (WikiSpaces Project) - Planning for Implementation
