I am experimenting with foreign language, social studies, math ideas and I am really excited about the Great Books project. I am using my child as "guinea pig," also. We're working on a "Lemony Snickets" Voicethread and I will be showing this at a librarians workshop in St. Louis next week. The other Web 2.0 tool that I have invested a lot of time into is Ning. It seems that everyone I tell about Ning creates a social network so it seems to be something worthwhile.

I can't tell you how grateful we are to see Voicethread being used and embraced by educators like yourself. We would love to help out on any of your upcoming projects should you need us. I would also like to ask Sandy if there is anything we can do to help unblock our service for her classroom. Again, thank you so much, keep us posted. Ben Papell voicethread.com Hi Wesley,

I just came across your blog. I can’t tell you how grateful we are to see Voicethread being used and embraced by educators like yourself. We would love to help out on any of your upcoming projects should you need us.
I would also like to ask Sandy if there is anything we can do to help unblock our service for her classroom.
Again, thank you so much, keep us posted.

How amazing for students to hear authentic audio feedback on their stories. How sad that at present, the majority of feedback comes in the form of a percentage or rubric score. Standardized testing has moved students from being creators, to being receptacles in which to place discrete pieces of information and then have them regurgitated. I first heard of VoiceThread during a recent Women of the Web 2.0’s live chat, only to find it blocked in my system. Your dialogue will hopefully provide the rationale for unblocking this site on the district network Thank you for your wonderful commentary about a powerful tool that teachers and students can easily use to create and edit ‘their stories’ – the stories that often don’t get told and certainly don’t get a wide audience.
