EXHIBITS Here are examples of some projects that I created for my students while taking EDT 502.
 * Mrs. Lesnau's E-Portfolio ~ Kaelah L. Lesnau **

 Here is a link to the classroom blog that I set up for my students to use. The inital idea of this project was for me, the teacher, to post a question regarding the story or book that we were reading. These questions were intended to be deeper thinking questions in which the answer cannot be found in the book. In the future I plan to continue to use the blog in this way as well as a place for my students to publish their work.

For EDT 502, I used the voice thread technology two different ways. One thread that we created as a class was to summarize and activity that we had done during Earth Week. I uploaded some pictures that we took during the activity and some student record their thoughts and reflections. Also, at the end-of-the-year, we created a classroom memory thread where I took and uploaded each of my students picture and had them record their favorite memeories of 4th grade. Next year I plan to use this technology a lot more, especially when the students are working on their year long state project.

PODCAST ** I decided to create a podcast of me reading a story to enhance my students' Reader's Theatre presentations. In the sample, you can here the reading of __The Great Kapok Tree__. For this lesson, I would divide my students into two groups: readers and actors. The reading group would be the group that would record themselves reading the story, while the actors would act the story out as the podcast is being played. This is a great way for students to focus on their volume, tone, and inflection while having the ability to edit what they say!

**WIKI** I also set up a classroom wiki page that is designed to act as an interactive classroom website. On the wiki I included pages that introduce my students to me, gives parents helpful information about how 4th grade in room 12 works, as well as links to the classroom blog and helpful pages that deal with specific areas in our curriculum.
