Reflection This technology was harder at first to figure out but once I had figured out I knew what to do and how to explain to others. I feel like this would be really useful in my future classroom as a technology tool with writing. Like how we did in this class by making the voice thread and then posting on wiki. I also like this because I was able to see other people's work to see how they did theirs. This would be harder I think with the lower elementary levels, if there was a more kid friendly version of this it would work better for them.
