Question 1

Answer 1
Mrs. Butler writes the homework for the whole week on the side board and gives students plenty of time to write the homework in the planner. Students always have to read 20-30 minutes a night and there are often spelling and vocabulary tests and long term projects.

Answer 2
The school is open until 11 p.m. You can bring your child and his/her planner back to the building to write the homework down.

Question 6

Answer 6
Mrs. Butler stays after school on Mondays for extra help and other days by appointment.
Question 7

Answer 7
We are creating PRIVATE voicethread digital stories, which means they are NOT accessible from the “open web” without a password and login. To view these digital stories, individuals have to be separately invited via their email address, by me. These people have to log in to VoiceThread using their email address and password, or the link which is sent to them when I invite them to view the VoiceThread. A separate VoiceThread “site” has not been setup for our school. What I have done, is to create PRIVATE VoiceThreads which can only be viewed by people I select and designate. I hope to share these VoiceThreads with our parents as well as other educators and classrooms.
Question 8

Answer 8
Yes, that is correct, I am. Each student has a different “identity” under my account, and students are not required to register or log in. Students do not have to have or use their own email account. All account access is through my login information, under my supervision. While logged in, I can change the current “identity” being used under my account so different students can share their ideas on VoiceThread.
Question 9

Answer 9
Since our VoiceThread digital stories are private and not publicly viewable, I will have to invite you via your email account to view our projects. I will do this if you email me your request.
Question 10

Answer 10
The only personal information students are sharing on the VoiceThread website are their first names. When you view our VoiceThread, you will see that the icon/avatar or identity of speakers change when the person who is speaking changes. Your child's photo does not have to be displayed, so please contact me if you would like an alternate icon.
Question 11

Answer 11
I plan to use VoiceThread in several ways. We are going to share our thoughts on poetry and other forms of literature. We also may engage in discussions and dialog about different topics and issues, since more than one person can comment on each VoiceThread slide. We also hope to share these projects with our parents, and solicit parent feedback and participation in some of our VoiceThread digital stories. I hope many of our students may extend their learning from the classroom to their homes by sharing their digital stories with their parents/guardians. If their parent registers their own VoiceThread account then it is possible students could also share ideas (add comments) to VoiceThread projects we have created from home, as well as from our classroom computer where I log in and manage/supervise our class VoiceThread account. It is important to note that comments/feedback on all our classroom VoiceThread projects will be moderated by me. This means I will individually approve or disapprove comments and feedback which are posted. This means I am CONTROLLING both the access other people have to our VoiceThread digital stories, as well as the feedback/comments which are shared by others. Please let me know if you have more questions or need more feedback on this.
