Mr. Williams’ Class Blog

So here is my first attempt at a YouTube video. Belive me, it is awful.

Unfortunately we can not watch it on the class blog at school. I’d suggest doing it at home or visiting the public library (if YouTube is not blocked there).

I really like Google Analytics. Here are some stats for the last two months from our class website.

Here are the Voice Threads of our chapter 2 vocabulary in science.

Here are the Math Slides from this week. They don’t fill the screen like they do in the SmartBoard software on here, so I’d suggest clicking on the Slideshare icon on the bottom right, then view the full screen option. I’ll work on making them look better on here next time.

Use them to supplement your notes and fix any parts you might have missed.

We used a website called VoiceThread to make our Science Picture Dictionaries (Williams’ Class – Mabee’s Class).

Now you can comment on VoiceThreads using your phone instead of a microphone.  While viewing a slide, there is a phone icon near the microphone icon. You can click on it, put your phone number in, and they call you to leave a message on the slide. The only problem I see with this right now is that you have to have registered an account with VoiceThread to use this feature. That is actually a good thing too, because it tracks who leaves the comments.

Check out this VoiceThread for an example on how to leave a voice comment using your phone:
