Voice threads

Voice threads are an innovative way to enhance the students learning abilities. It can get the students attention and encompass their imagination. Students love to hear themselves and their peers talking on a computer. Also, students may learn from other students if they are heard teaching a lesson in a different way. High learning students can pose questions to other classmates for them to think about as well.

Google Docs

Google docs is a great way to collaboratively have students work together on a project or writing and edit it together. This could also not be a good thing for your students because they can erase other students work without the other student wanting them to, so it is important to make sure the students are knowledgeable in Google docs before they begin their work.

HOTS in the class.

Using technology in the class and blogging would be a great idea for students in the third grade to share ideas with other students in the class. They could also use blogging to help other students in different states or grades on a certain topic. Since third grade is a TAKS grade, the students could practice their writing skills and fluency when writing their blogs for a certain amount of time. The more story telling these students practice, the better thinkers they will become and the better they will produce in their writing projects.
Here is a great link to learn about incorporating blogs in the classroom.
