Technology Integration Experience (TIE) Thoughts

Inquiring technology into classroom teaching and learning is becoming huge in today's society. One idea that I really liked for the Voice Threads was involved with a math lesson. It's a great idea to have drawings and math problems already printed or drawn out on paper and then having the students talk you through how they got their answer. Of course, their faces are not shown in their explanations and all you can see is them showing their work along with a small explanation of their answer. Another Voice Thread that I liked was to simply show pictures of different creatures and have students verbally explain what they see. I'm anxious to get started with a Voice Thread with one of my first couple lessons to see how it plays out... :)
