Chapter three for the most part was all about voice thread. After reading about voice thread I thought it was a really cool idea that I would consider using in my classroom. I love how it encourages students to use more than just pictures. It teaches children all about different elements of story telling. The only problem I have with this idea is that using all of these online elements makes it so that students do not have to say much if not anything about themselves when showing the finished product because they already said it all with the program. It was also amazing to me that something that sounds so simple for me to do myself, is not so simple for children to do. Although the thought of this activity is so cool, it would potentially take days for the simple fact that they would need to be show how to do every little aspect of the project. Children in kindergarten or even first grade may have even more trouble with this activity because they do not yet know how to type. Throughout high school and college it has been encouraged in the first couple of weeks of school to get to know other students in the class. I have done this in many different ways including icebreakers and PowerPoint presentation. It never really occurred to me that elementary aged children do not typically learn about each other. For younger children especially, it is nice to teach children that not everyone is the same and not all families are the same.
