Voicethread+and+Math

=Voicethread can be a powerful tool for advancing student's understanding of math concepts. = = =  A growing set of applications of this tool is demonstrated by the **K-7 Mathcasts 500 Project** and http://www.mathplayground.com/mathcasts500.html  Young mathematicians can **explore** and **communicate** their thinking about math. They can do this in writing, speaking and with drawings. They can do so with an **authentic audience**. Their comments in the threads can serve as **authentic assessments**-- assessments that can be used to guide next steps and prompt self-reflections. //More on Voicethread// http://voicethread.com/library/29/ for discussion of above!
