Pete the Cat does VoiceThread

VoiceThread is an incredible collaboration tool for students of all ages. I plan to use VoiceThread in many different ways this year with my first graders. However, before I can turn them loose independently with VoiceThread they must be taught how to correctly use the program, as well as appropriately discuss within a thread. After reading many Pete the Cat books this week, I decided to practice using VoiceThread with the entire class. The kids were so excited and caught on so quickly. For our first experience, the students used the VoiceThread app on the iPad and simply passed the iPad around the circle taking turns recording their thoughts. This worked very well as they were each able to listen to what they said and either save or discard after their recording. After listening to our class VoiceThread, feel free to add your own response about Pete the Cat!
