I can't wait to try out some of the things we learned today in my classroom this fall. Yesterday I wasn't quite sure how I was going to be using a wiki or a blog, but the multitude ways we used audio files today seem to be more my style. I think my kids actually used audio files in a project they did with our Media Specialist this past year. I'm looking forward to being able to collaborate with her more this year, since I now have a clue what they're doing!
Most of my students love to share what they're learned in a creative way and I think that using Wordle, Voice Thread, and Garage Band (among others!) will add another dynamic layer to the Academic Choice projects we do every week.
Going back to school in September seems easier with something like this to look forward to!

I agree- the reason might be that with younger students, these applications seem more accessible. I think with Wikis and Blogs, there is so much more writing (typing) involved that it may be a bit frustrating and limiting to their ideas.
