VoiceThread is a website that allows you to upload photos or videos, and then people can comment on them by webcam, text, phone, or voice. Yes, if I wanted to use a video for my classroom, I would use VoiceThread. I would use it because I think it's a great interactive way for all students to connect and leave their opinions and comments. If I posted a video explaining a concept, students could leave comments saying whether they understand it or not. I think it's a fun creative way to learn.

Publisher

The assignments I did this week went really well. I enjoyed making my teacher brochure and resume and felt it was really beneficial to know how to do.

I thought the brochure was really fun to create, and I think it is something I will use when I begin teaching. It allows students and parents to get to know you, the class, and your teaching philosophy.

There are no muddy points that I need to review.

I really like Publisher and felt pretty comfortable with using it. I think Publisher would be great to create graphic organizers to hand out to the class and students can fill them in for notes throughout the class. I would definitely use it for graphic organizers.
