__How did the teacher use technology in this lesson/approach? Details – time, activities, products, etc__ In this article, the teacher uses VoiceThread in discussion of literature instead of traditionally having a discussion in class. The VoiceThread is listened to in class on the SmartBoard. Also, in the future, her students will create their own VoiceThreads of original poems for others to comment on.

__How did the students use technology? Details – time, activities, products, etc__ Students used VoiceThread to participate in a discussion about literature they had read. They typed comments or reflected through audio or video clips and then listened to the VoiceThread as a class. Students in the future will create their own VoiceThread of poetry for others to comment on (peers and teacher).

__How were students assessed? How were students’ content knowledge, skills, and/or technology skills evaluated?__ No specific assessment techniques were addressed in this articles. Instead WHAT the students did was focused upon. One can assume the pure use of the tool successfully commenting and discussing the literature through the VoiceThread (class) successfully would be a source of assessment.

__How were students provided feedback, remediation, scaffolding?__ No specific instances of the above were mentioned in the article.
