Big "To Do!"

We have a lot going on with the project. How exciting was Friday? With all the running around, I want to make clear what we have done and what needs to be done next:

• All teachers have signed up for a Voice Thread account. Remember, this is a trial account. To upgrade to a full account, you need to click the "Go Pro!" button. Then, click the K-12 icon. Look for the "Free Educator" column and click the button.
  
  
• All classes have made comments on the PBL at PS 376 voice thread.
  -- Ms. Liebmann's class needs to re-record some of them because we forgot to change identities for each group. (Oops, sorry, Ms. Liebmann)
  --Now it is time for students to listen to the other classes comments and projects. They can leave their own comments or questions if they like.
  
  
• If you have time (and are ready to) you can also set up your student's identities. When you are in the voice thread, open the identity menu and click "Create another identity." Then you can edit the names of each identitiy and upload a picture for each one. This will make it easier for each group to find their identity.
  
  
• Finally, each class should start its own Voice Thread about the class project:
  -- This can be a place for students to document their research.
  -- This can be a place to collect images and ideas.
  -- This can be a place where students ask questions.
  -- Include information about your field trip.
  -- Include ideas about the final product.
  Or, it can be any combination of the above, depending on where you are in your project.
  It would be great if you added your class Voice Thread to this blog. Just copy the "embed" info into the body of the blog. You can find this in any open thread by clicking the Menu button, then click "Embed."
  

There is a lot more to remember, but these are the important points. Let me know if you get stuck or forget how to do anything.
