I LOVE this Voicethread idea Shelly! Can you send me more info on how you all went about doing it and collaborating together? I have bilingual students in kinder and 1st grades and this would make a wonderful project for them!
This has been a very real challenge for me. Something that I want to do, something that I should be doing, but have just seen so many hurdles in front of me. I really appreciate the resources and examples. They are very helpful. Thanks so much for all you are doing!
