[|Voicethread (Collaborative Piece with Peers)]

**__Reflection__:**

The link labeled Classroom Blog Page takes you to a classroom website I created a part of a Web 2.0 assignment. The purpose of the website is for students and caregivers to keep up-to-date and informed about what is going on in the classroom, as well as the ability to complete their blogging homework that correspond to the story of the week. This site also offers the students an opportunity to "show" their work to parents, caregivers, and peers. The site as it stands is a starting point for when I have my own classroom.

The link labeled Voicethread takes you to a collaborative piece we did as an part of an assignment using digital age media. The Voicethread program allows you to respond to users work by posting a comment verbally or by text. I chose to respond to the work by text because I did not have access to a microphone to record my voice. Voicethread is a wonderful and ingenious way for peers to collaborate together, as well as an excellent assessment tool for teachers.
