Voice Thread Comment

World Travels

These pictures were taken of places around the world. The pictures are very cool. They look like they were taken with a good camera and they took pictures of very interesting things.

The person on the voicethread explained the picture very well.

I didn't really like some of the pictures they took but he still explained  the pictures very well.

Colour Poetry

The pictures that the person took were pretty interesting. The little kids that were talking about and explaining  the pictures were cute.

The kids could have explained the things a little better but overall it was pretty good.

I like voicethread because you are able to explain what the pictures are about and circle things on the screen while you are talking which lets people know exactly what you are talking about.

My Favorite Class

English

Mrs. Weaver is really funny and she makes it easy to learn.
I have a lot of my friends in that class.
I like reading and I’m good at English.

English Class

My favorite thing about school is English class. I like English class because Mrs. Weaver makes it fun and easy to learn. I have friends in my English class so I can talk to them during free time and we help each other. The last reason I like English is because I’m good at it and I like learning about it.
Mrs. Weaver makes it easy to learn because she explains things very well. She answers everyone’s questions and explains them so that every person understands it in their own way. She grades everything with all of the students in mind. If everyone does badly on something she will give all of us another chance to take it and understand it better. Mrs. Weaver makes learning fun but telling jokes to get everyone involved in the discussions. She offers extra help to those who need it and gives everyone an equal opportunity to do well on tests and assignments if they were gone.
Another reason that English is my favorite class is because I have a lot of friends in that class. Mrs. Weaver sometimes gives us time to talk to our friends when we are in between activities. I find it easier to learn when you’re with people you know because you can discuss things with them and ask them questions about what we are learning. Being with people that you know is easier because you don’t feel dumb asking them questions where if you didn’t know them it wouldn’t be as easy to ask them questions.
The last reason that I like English class is because I like to read. We do a lot of reading in English and it gives my ideas of what book I would like to read next.  It also shows me different perspectives of people because every author writes different and gives a different message. I like making myself a better reading and enhance my grammar so that I have the tools I need when I grow up to get a good job and know how to talk to people and how to write letters to people.
Those are the reasons I like English class. I like the teacher and how she teaches. I like the having a lot of friends in English class. The last reason English is my favorite class is I like learning about English and reading.

Glogster Poster

Glogster Poster

Posters

Microsoft Word Poster

Using these mediums was better than my handmade poster because they were more organized on the computer. I liked on my handmade poster that I could make it look exactly how I wanted it. I could make the handwriting and colors the exact way I wanted it because I was the one drawing it where on the computer there were only a few options I could do.


Glogster Poster

I liked that there were a lot of different options on Glogster. There were a lot more options on glogster, things that I could have drawn or written. I preffered on my handmade poster that it had the exact colors that I picked out but on gloster you have to try to get the colors on the computer and it doesn't always work out how you want it. I think that using the glogster was better than the word processor because it seems that glogster was made for poster making where microsoft word isn't. On microsoft word you had a lot of room to make your poster.

I liked the Glogster the most out of the three mediums. There were a lot of options you could choose from in making your poster, where in microsoft word and your hand poster there weren't as many. I liked that glogster was made for making posters. I also liked that glogster was really easy to use and didn't have very many hard things you had to learn how to run on the site.
