Tech Week, Day 5

On our final day of tech week, students learned about a great application called voicethread (http://www.room104science.ed.voicethread.com/).  It allows students to upload a picture, video or document and leave a text, voice or video comment on those uploads.  For today's example, students uploaded pictures of objects that measure mass, volume, temperature and length.  They then left text and/or voice comments that identified how the object is used and why it would be used.  After saving their voicethread, students have the ability to leave comments for each other and even embed their voicethread onto their wiki.  The potential is limitless.
Back to science topics on Monday.  News article #6 is due on Monday.
