The Odyssey is a major literary work studied in English I. This Voicethread would be a way to introduce the epic poem to students by using both audio and video. Seeing the images from ancient pottery with the voice overs that link the stories in the epic would help to make the story relevant to students. Again I need time to search and group all this material to insert into the curriculum. I did find myself being pulled away from my objective to go into areas of fun and entertainment. The time factor is critical-I can not select any media piece without previewing and making a decision about where and how to incorporate the information into a lesson. This would be valuable to teachers to use with the equipment being placed in classrooms across the district.
23Things is not making my job easier or quicker; it is placing more demands on me. Being a memeber of the 21st century is not turning out to be an easy task.
