As always, remember to use proper grammar, capitalization, punctuation, and spelling. You are writing a narrative, so be sure to use proper dialogue. And also use descriptive details and clear event sequences. media type="custom" key="24409140" align="center" Reflection: When I first starting using the Voicthread website, I was really confused, but I think it was because it was new to me and it scared me a little. But after getting my hands dirty with the website, it became very easy to use. Once I got used to it, I actually started having a little fun. I got to change my voice into these crazy sounds for the characters voices and I think it made the story come to life. I think that you could apply this to the classroom in many ways. You could have students present projects this way or the teacher could even record a lesson for the students if they know they are going to miss a day. I can definitely see myself using this in my classroom. I think students will enjoy using it and creating something different instead of a powerpoint or prezi.
