I love it! I haven't tried Voicethread...yet! What a great way to get the children involved in the documentation. Mine are documenting the worm composter and this would be a great way to enhance their documentation. I would love to show this to my class to get their thoughts. Maybe we'll tweet you too!Sergio Pascuccihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14103112675879209782noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2387202938979186877.post-89022209630319040592013-04-09T08:53:53.224-07:002013-04-09T08:53:53.224-07:00Thank you!

I myself started trying my hand at documentation last fall, beginning with a very simple picture story about our exploration of pumpkins. I look at that poster now and I can see what I've learned in a year and a half, during which time I completed my Kindergarten AQ parts 2 and 3 through ETFO. I can't say enough about how fantastic it is to learn in a face-to-face course where we were able to try our hand at documentation, spur each other on with ideas about all the ongoing projects happening in each class, and support each other as learners. <br />By the way, did you happen to click through to the Voicethread? I was curious to know if you'd like to show it to your class sometime, perhaps inspire them to "see, think, wonder" about our project. Our friend Ms. Silva, down the hall, had her students tweet us when we shared some of our magnificant marble creations with them. I almost fell over when I read that tweet, replete with kid spelling! Oops, that's a bit of a preview to next week's post.Laurel Fyneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01694746377382643755noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2387202938979186877.post-38415076623371663782013-04-08T14:08:41.246-07:002013-04-08T14:08:41.246-07:00Laurel,

I understand the frustration of having those "gaps" when documenting. After 2 years of engaging in this type of documentation, it's still messy. I don't know that we ever quite master it, but the "dance" becomes a little more rhythmic (if that makes sense). I can't wait to see what happens next!Sergio Pascuccihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14103112675879209782noreply@blogger.com
