used?
|| Heath || 8th || Science || My students could use slide shows to present material on the content to their peers. But, going beyond just slideshows, I do like the possibilities with VoiceThread. I would like to become more comfortable with this program and incorporate it especially into the geology portion of the curriculum. Students often don't get the nuances of "presentation technique" when including text on their slides. So if they could have the image and actually narrate and explain how it relates to the lesson, this would force them to use their own words, and would be more relevant and engaging for them (and their classmates). This would also alleviate some of the stress of standing in front of the class, trying to remain composed during a presentation. ||
 * Scott Evans || 9th || English I || My students could use Glogster to tell a story that evokes the same mood, rhythm, and voice as that used in "The Raven" by Poe. Students would create an interactive online poster that includes a piece of original poetry written with the same rhyme scheme as Poe's classic verse. Their visuals should reflect the same gloomy, morose, and clausterphobic sense of sadness and solemnity created by Poe. Finally, students could include a link to audio of themselves reciting their own original poems in a voice that matches that of Poe's "weak and weary" speaker. ||
