Reflection: I really enjoyed the Voicethread project! I felt like it was the final piece to publish my writing. I will definitely use this in my classroom because it can allow students to get excited about sharing their writings. I like the fact that the Voicethread can allow a whole class to work on one project together and parents can listen to it at home! It was very easy to work and I could use this in any subject area. I think students would get excited about this project. They can be creative and we can watch the whole Voicethread as a class! I am glad I have the book publication website and Voicethread to use!
