Reporting From Japan

Posted by: | January 4, 2012 | No Comment |

Our young friend in Toyota, Japan got a new digital camera for Christmas. He recorded short videoclips wishing us a Happy New Year and showing us a temple. I uploaded the short clips onto Voicethread and students in grades 2 and 3 commented on them. They really enjoyed the opportunity to interact with the student just a few years older than them. Voicethread is a wonderful way to communicate asynchronously!
