Reflection on new web tool

I spent most of this morning reading the new National Science Framework. I took three pages of notes with some sort of professional development for my department in mind. After I typed it up I read it out loud and noticed that it took 8 minutes; too long for a voice thread. Oh,that reminds me of the new web tool that I used this week. My Web Tools instructor used Voice Thread to record his thought on the new National Science Framework, so when I went on to record my comments, I had to create another account :-) and explore yet another web tool. This one asked for permission to access my computer's camera and microphone before I could record. Cool! In the end it was easy to use and not too different from the screen casting experience that I had last month.

I recorded at least 4 different threads. I retrospect it would have been better to make my comments match the slides that my instructor had prepared, but I'm working against a vacation deadline here!
I plan to send my 2-pages of highlights to the science specialist for my county, she might be interested.
