Kim Lightle replied to Leigh Brown's discussion 'Voicethread' in the group Integrating Technology
Rebecca - That is a good point about audio quality. I've looked at lots of class made videos in SchoolTube and TeacherTube and the audio is so bad I can't even hear what anybody is saying. Any ideas on how to keep the audio quality high?…

This looks very interesting. Being web-based, it opens it up to student access from any online source. That is a flexibility you can not get from GarageBand, IMovie, Audacity or MovieMaker (programs that I have used). I might give it a try this…

Leigh,
I haven't used Voicethread, but this sounds really interesting.
How did the students record so that the noise of the classroom was not a problem?
When my students tried to do podcasting last year, any little noise in the…
Leigh Brown replied to Kim Lightle's discussion 'To Twitter or Not to Twitter - Is That Even a Question Anymore?'

- Hi Leigh - Hope your summer is going well! I wanted to update you on our free webinars and hope you can join us for one of them soon.
We've had three Tech Talks so far - one on Interactive Notebooks, Moodle, and Digital Storytelling. You can get to the recordings of those by clicking on the Web Archive link.
You can see all our upcoming events by clicking on the Events tab. The next TechTalk topic is Using Wikis. We've got lots more topics to cover in the next few months - technology, pedagogy, content knowledge, all sorts of fun stuff! Any ideas on additional topics or feedback you have would be greatly appreciated! Kim

Mary Henton said… - Welcome Leigh. I hope you had a great first year teaching! Would you care to share a highlight from the year? There is a wide range of experience here in MSP2--from 1st year teachers to folks who have 25+ years experience. Everyone has something to share, and I hope you'll be willing to jump in!

- Hi Leigh - Thanks for joining us and welcome to the community. We've got a lot of veteran teachers involved with MSP2, so I hope you can benefit from their words of wisdom!
We've got lots of resources for middle school science teachers - look at the left side of the Main page - Science Publications, Diigo lists, and two project blogs - Connecting News to the National Science Education Standards and Exemplary Resources for Middle School Math and Science.
I am curious about what "other" subject you teach in addition to science! And how did you find out about MSP2?
Again, welcome!
Jessica
