My audio project was having my fourth graders call in to my Google Voice number and reflecting on their definition of the February character trait, courage. My message prompted them to explain what courage means to them and give an example of a time they have shown courage. The kids really loved that they could "call" their teacher... Their responses were so adorable and the students enjoyed hearing each others reflections/stories. I will also be posting these on my blog as well. This was a homework assignment, so I had a great turn-out of student participation. No major challenges--the translation on Google Voice is pretty terrible, but that is probably because it is a newer feature, so I turned it off. Also, I noticed that when trying to call the number from our school classroom phone, it doesn't work. Also, a couple kiddos forgot to turn the phone of so I heard a lot of dead noise before they realized they needed to end the phone call, but it was pretty funny actually. Overall, I would say this was a successful project. I am excited to use it again and incorporate it in different ways!
