Voice+Thread

This is "Voice Thread"; and it an amazing way for parents, friends and families to participate in a conversation with our students. What do you have to do? Register, (which is simple and quick) type in your e-mail and make up a pass word. What do you need? You may participate by typing your comments, calling your comments in on the phone (the first 3 minutes are free), using your computer's microphone to record a message or using a webcam to post a "mini" podcast. This may require a little playing around however coming from a person who reads the directions as a last resort (lol), it's fairly easy. Where do I register? Look in the bottom left corner of the video screen. Our class participated in a lesson about Henry Brown; this was the end product. We need your help building background knowledge. Log in and leave a message about what freedom means to you. media type="custom" key="8316238" Subitizing: What Is It? Why Teach It?

Counting on two, however, gives them a way to figure out how counting on works. During this "Voice Thread" students are showing how they see arrangemnts of tiles. media type="custom" key="8761086"
