Thing 5 of 13

I really like the slideshows that are posted and how comments are made. There are some gorgeous photos on world travel! I did create my account (keeping with the ymarteacha log in name) I am debating which to embed. So far I like Picture Writing ~ Students in a 3rd grade class made a book about weather, integrating poetry and art. I also like the slideshow that has students describing their artwork and expressing their own opinions about the finished piece. I think this is a great example of freedom of speech. Opinions can be shared and debates can be had.

The one that will be embedded will be a report on Picasso.In this Voice Thread students can identify and classify paintings completed during Picasso's life.

I can't recall if I sent you the link or not, but I recently found an art instructor at a community college who uses VT with her students to critique art work. Using the annotation tools they can even "write" on the art work.

Here's her blog: http://mpbreflections.blogspot.com/
