We worked for several weeks in Honors English to produce scholarly research papers. As part of our response and reflection on the process, students will work in small groups to add their feedback on the research paper assignment and their advice for future students. I have set up the wiki page and will ask those who have their own laptops to bring them on Jan. 6-7, 2010, with the intention that each group have at least one computer to work from to build our wiki page. You can see the wiki page, all set to go if you visit the site today (12/30/09), but if you come back in a week or two, you should find some fabulous student-generated food-for-thought!
Here's the link to the 2009-Fall-Research-Paper wiki page:

Voice Thread Exercise
Today I'm looking at the voice streaming idea.
Here is the voice thread I made:

This seems like a rather cumbersome thing to use with the whole class, but perhaps more applicable to small group responses. In English, it seems much more reasonable to talk as a group rather than respond alone after listening to other voices. Seems like it could be fun to use with family--to send a slide show and edit with comments.
