 * Mrs. Wilson's prep/one class at Harston Primary in Harston, Australia**

Harston is a very small primary school with only 23 students in total. There are 7 students in prep/one. These students took the photos, worked out what they were going to say, and put the comments into the voicethread. This was only their second attempt at a voicethread.

 * Shepherd Elementary is a K-5 school in Mooresville, NC.** Mrs. Onyskin had a kindergarten and 2nd grade class take these pictures during technology classes. Then, various students from Kindergarten through 2nd grade added comments about the photos to tell you about our school. I apologize for the varying volumes, as we did this on many computers around the school and found that all are not created equal.

We are a PreK -6 school with about 550 students. I joined the project after school was over but would like to have another go at it in the fall. Here is a VT that my kindergarten class created at the very end of school. It was a pretty wild time bringing it all together and I even wrote a [|blog post] about it. It was a real learning experience for all of us! media type="custom" key="6682647"

Mrs. Watson's Grade 1/2/3 class. We are a school of less than 40 children located on a small island in British Columbia, Canada. This was our first time using Voice Thread, and for many of the students their first time using a camera. media type="custom" key="6682671"

By Layla at Ancaster Meadow School -- In our school, with two grade 1 classes put togther,we have more sudents than your whole school.

Layla wrote this comparison after listening to Mrs. Watson's VoiceThread. My students were amazed at how different schools can be. They thought that it might be neat to have three or four grades in one classroom: then some students could be in the same classes as their brothers and sisters too. Thanks, Mrs. Watson, for a great VoiceThread. My students are still talking about your class. -- Aviva Dunsiger

Miss Dunsiger's Grade 1 class. We are a school of over 700 children in Ancaster, Ontario, Canada.

​ Harston Primary School @ Harston, Victoria, Australia.
By Year Prep and One students with Mrs Wilson. The students took the photos and narrated this voicethread. This is one of our first efforts at voicethreads. We have less than 25 students in our whole school with 7 students in years prep/one. We have our own class blog and have communicated with Mrs Watson and the 1/2/3's in British Columba a number of times (see above). Like the students at AJ Elliott Elementary, many of our students have brothers and sisters at Harston however we don't have any cousins etc. Our school year runs from January through to December, with 5 weeks off over the Christmas / New Year period. Like the Northern Hemisphere schools, our main break is during our summer. Harston is a district. There is no town; just the school, community hall, tennis courts and a couple of houses. The school has been operating on the same site for over 130 years. The main school building is over 90 years old. Most of the children come to school by the school bus, arriving ready for a 9am start and finishing at 3.15pm.

They enjoyed this format and freedom with VoiceThread. Yet, we realized when viewing it as a class that 1/2 the headphones weren't plugged in properly. We've done most of our VTs this year using the teacher station & the SMARTboard. We'll need to practice using it more on the student computers. The class decided to leave it as is and learn from this experience. Next time, we'll be sure to check for the same sound quality we are used to experiencing when commenting on a VT. We are always learning! :) media type="custom" key="6682827" Shepherd Elementary is a K-5 school in Mooresville, NC.
