• There has been a lot of chatter online about using VoiceThread as an ePortfolio publishing  environment. In an online class, I became aware of the following link: VoiceThread  as a Digital Portfolio - a teacher blog entry with instructions and two  examples of digital stories using VoiceThread for student-led conferences in  fifth grade. In the first example, the feedback is in the form of text,  in the second there are several voice comments; a great way to involve parents!  There are two really good examples of reflection that focus on what the students  learned, the challenges, and their goals for improvement in different content  areas.
  

  • Good idea to incorporate into an intervention plan with school age students working on story telling.
