Before I started this project I had no knowledge that a tool like VoiceThread was available for teachers to use. After becoming the project leader, I really got to researching and playing with the program. I decided to use my kindergarten students to create my example for VoiceThread because we are required to document many standards for GKIDS. I felt this program was the perfect fit for this documentation process. The Georgia standard for kindergarten is retelling a story in their own words. I had previously read the story Brown Bear Brown Bear and decided to use this story for the project. In the past, we just marked a sheet if they were able to do this or not. Now, with this tool I can record my students and even play it back for parents. This is good documentation for GKIDS. Also, the kids enjoyed doing this and could not wait to hear themselves played back on the computer. I definitely plan to use this tool again.
