My actions were very effective. Talking with my co-workers getting websites that I can use to make my lessons more effective for my students is going well. I have tried a few of the websites this week to assist with my theme Christmas. We use VoiceThread to write a letter to Santa. One of my co-workers gave me a site to use to get a letter back from Santa. Next week, I am going to put their VoiceThread letters in Microsoft Word and sent the letters to Santa so they will have a letter to take home. I am anxious to see their faces when they get their letters.
I still have to learn how to pull up the websites faster and have them ready for my students. I need to play with the websites before I introduce them to my students. I also need to try some new technology with my students besides VoiceThread.

I don't teach primary level children, but I have a four year old and your Santa letter sounds great for her. She had been my guinea pig for voice thread assignments for my courses. Did you find a free site for response letters from Santa?
ReplyDeleteI am looking for a good Santa site too for my kindergarten students and their parents at our Computer Night Monday. I am sure your students will love their letters! I know what you mean about playing with the website first. I tried to learn with my students when we got our mimeo board and it was tough! I stayed after school that same day to get a better grip! The next lesson was much better!
