Reflections After Voicethread

The voicethread was an overall success. The younger learners loved working with technology. They loved the new idea of voicethreads. However, because of their age (four years) it was difficult to get each student to understand the process of how to post their voice. I had to sit by each child and walk them through the voicethread step by step.  Because I was able to sit down with each child it was completed, however, if I was not able to sit with them they would have not been able to go through the entire process by themselves. The information on the voicethread came easier to the students since I had already gone over the information of the life cycle of the turtle during my lesson plan. Once the group was done the students were ecstatic to hear their voices and see the final product. I would not recommend to do a voicethread with younger students unless someone is able to sit with the students and walk them through the steps, because I was able to the voicethread was a success for me.
