 * Getting Students to Think Creatively!**

I would like to discuss the benefits of students collaborating in their studies. By using a tool such as Voice Thread, the instructor can initiate a topic for discussion but then allow all students in the class to collaborate and share information to further their understanding of the material. This can also be used to collaborate with a subject matter expert or a class in another part of the world - students then learn from each other or across the discipline. It is a new paradigm for study buddies and hopefully getting students to THINK!

//Interactivity// I will demonstrate how a tool such as Voice Thread can be easily implemented into any classroom.
