identities.)

I have been using VT for around 5 years and every year I find a new way to implement it in my curriculum. Here are just a few ways that I have incorporated VT into my class. \n
I used this wordle as the basis for the introduction of our data analysis vocabulary asking the students what they knew about these vocabulary words. It was a great way to introduce the Chapter.\n
I participated in a distance learning and collaborative initiative with an education student at the University of Regina in Canada. Kyle Webb was studying to be a math teacher and we worked together for a semester using VT as one of our primary means of communication. \n
This next VoiceThread was a WebQuest in which the students found a mathematician that was born on their birthday. They were to include three facts about their twin and three about themselves as well as their twins mathematical achievement. They then presented it as a VT and working in groups they had to view and comment on at least 5 VT. It was a huge success. \n
