 * __Canadian Shield Transportation__ **

media type="custom" key="3992445"

This voice thread on Canadian Shield transportation definitely applies to me because the first unit of the school year is on North America - Canada. Truth be told, it is a pretty slow, boring unit for the kids. What I liked about this is that it shows three different types of environments found in the Canadian Shield. It also asks questions, while showing the "real" pictures - something our text does not do. Students can zoom in and out and investigate the geography to answer the questions. Although not "perfect", I think this is a voice thread to build on!

This was somewhat of a "toss up" for me. Granted, it is a very simplistic voice thread. It did offer some very good questions that would make students think more on a higher level. A teacher could definitely choose whether or not to have the students use some type of technology in which to respond to the questions. ||

I would love to have the students use a Voice Thread to answer these questions. Would it be possible to have the students respond to the questions using the same pictures? I think the kids would really get a thrill out of that! Also, I think it would be great to have students in my class choose a location - city, country, landmark, etc. - and using pictures, design a voice thread. It would be a different type of virtual tour. ||
