the audience to leave comments in five different ways, making it

4. VOICETHREAD
 This can be very beneficial because I, as a
teacher, can use it, as well as my students can
use it. After someone creates a Voicethread,
it can be opened up so that the whole class or
other classes can comment on the
presentation. This allows for students to
have to take up less class time, still allowing
for feedback on presentations. It also allows
the teacher to review the presentation over
and over again at home for grading purposes.

for class projects. Instead of coming up with guidelines by yourself
as a teacher and taking up a lot of your valued time, you can use this
free technology to create a checklist for any school project in a few http://pblchecklist.4teac

simple steps. This technology allows you to come up with guidelines
in a checklist form for a certain project. By answering a few
questions using their online service, with the answers to those
questions that were answered, the program generates a checklist that
can be handed out to your class that is appropriate for the upcoming
project.
