Mr. Chamberlain - Dear Kaia
I found the post on Mr. C's class very interesting; in that they represent a time that is emerging as the leading method of educating. I appreciate Mr. C's willingness to pursuit innovative ways to educate his students. I plan to utilized some of his teaching method; because you are only effective if your students learn and retain the subject matter.
As for the data in Mr. C's piece; I appreciate Kaia's father calling and talking to the students in the class. The idea to create a voice thread for Kaia was igneous; the voice thread will allow Kaia to listen to Mr. C's class. Each student appeared to have participated in the voice thread by say a few words. I think this is a great tool to use in the classroom, increasing the students knowledge of technology. I also think an activity like this really captures the students attention and make learning fun. Kaia's 1st photo essay and the lesson by her father gives her a sense of responsibility. The fact that one can find good in even the worst of things can prove to be a life saving lesson. The father's reading of "Last Child in the Woods" compel him to introduce Kaia to a side of nature that will impact her life forever.
