The voice thread that I chose to watch was from a Pre-K class in New York. The teacher created this voice thread and video so the students could tell others about their school and their classroom. I thought it was really fun to watch and listen to the students voice thread. They seemed so proud of their school. It seemed like most students got a chance to talk about one picture that they were in. When their picture came up they described what was happening in the picture. The students will be able to look back when they are older and watch all about their classroom. This was a really cool voice thread. I believe voice threads would be a great learning experience for all students no matter what grade they are in.
Here is a link for the Pre-K voice thread!

Google Docs and its many uses!
Google Docs is a wonderful tool to use in the classroom. Students can create powerpoint presentations and easily share them with their classmates. You simply need a google account and you can access all of Google's great features. The cool thing about Google Docs is that you never have to worry about losing your information and presentations that you have created, because Google Docs automatically saves it for you under your email address. I am a PST in a Pre-K class. I feel that Google Docs would be too advanced and too difficult for the students, but as a teacher I could communicate with parents with the use of Google Docs. This is a great tool that can easily be incorporated into the classroom!

HOTS Integration for Pre-K
Blogging can be very useful for Pre-K students. Blogging allows the teacher to post upcoming events, assignments, what the student's are learning and notes to parents. Teachers can also post pictures, videos and powerpoints. This allows parents and students the ability to check what's happening in the classroom.
