tutpup

After reading Suzie's blog, I tried this site with my class today. The basic facts and spelling games were great, and the children loved competing against other kids around the world. Try it! I was great to introduce the kids to a new game over the 5th wet lunch time in a row.

Voice Threads

I tried Voice Threads with my class today. We used it as an oral language activity, and it led directly into self assessment and peer assessment. The children are highly motivated and I hope that they can use it for other oral language activities this term. After we have finished the voice thread I intend to post it on our school wiki so the children can share with friends and family.
Take a look at these examples.
