===<span style="font-size: 130%; color: #000000; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS', cursive;">My kids got very excited when I told them that they would be giving their reflection by recoding their voices instead of writing. I showed the final product for my kids via the LCD projector and they all sat their with their mouths open. Then hand went up and they asked if we could do another one. I was quite satisfied with the outcome of this podcast projecta and I know will continue to create and use podcast and voicethread in my teaching. ===
