 * Notes:**
 * (KH)** This is usually a 2 session project (but could be more depending on how ambitious you want to make it ;-) which involves recording the children reading their writing. Additionally, the classroom teacher will need to register for a (free) educator's account at //VoiceThread//. []

Each child will also have to have some picture to represent their "identity" on //VoiceThread//. Tech resource teacher will help with this as well as help get projects online once they are completed. The plan is for classroom teachers to then share projects with parents via a //VoiceThread// link (URL) on their class website. Or, the URL can be mailed to parents and shared that way.
