I’ve set out to it. 
1st.
wrote a consent form to parents, so they know what we’re doing and have access to the blog. Kids took 3 weeks to bring consent form back…
2nd.
Create an account for each kid – chaos!!! Sent them emails with my first screencast explaining the how to’s. Only half a dozen of them watched the screencast. They couldn’t find the link in the email. Most of them has no idea what a link is.. They’re kids. Small kids, I keep telling myself..
3rd. Read Kim Cofino’s post on google class accounts and all became easier. Found a link in her blog to a wonderful tutorial screencast on how to do it!
4th. Made my first voicethread!! for the kids to comment and do online exercises about the alphabet!
5th. This next week, i’m finally testing it with the kids.
I’m optimistic. Or so-so. Well, not really.
And that’s it.
Blogged with Flock
