If this doesn’t work, try looking at it on my iGoogle page: http://www.google.com/ig#t_0

This post contains my Voicethread assignment on Social and Collaborative Media. I chose to tell more about how social networking tools like Twitter and Skype can be used in the classroom. I discussed how these tools can be incorporated to support student instruction, ongoing parent contact and community collaboration, and communication and collaboration with the school community. Today’s students are the digital generation and their instruction needs to be guided accordingly.

    Lesley, Loved your Voicethread. I thought you did a great job tying the information and ideas you presented with the standards for students. You had some great images. I also loved the example you gave of using Skype to communicate at far distances. I agree that this is a huge help to parents overseas, to help them stay active in their children’s performance and progress in school.
