How does tool apply to your curricular area?
Kayla-Social Studies
 * The students can use voice thread for doing projects for history. For example they can post information about World War I. They would find information and pictures that pertain to WWI such as how it was started, the major leaders, and the countries involved. They would then use this information to make a multimedia presentation containing any pictures, documents, and videos that they may have found while doing their research.

 * The students can use this site to submit their own poems and essays. For example I plan on teaching works such as Great Expectations and David Copperfield. The students will post commentary of what they think about events in the story chapter by chapter. They will also be able to post images of industrial age England to better understand the context that these stories took place. Videos of movie clips based on these stories would also be uploaded and students can write whether the depictions are accurate or not. The students can even write their own short stories about growing up in the industrial age. These stories would be at a minimum though.

Where does tool fit in Digital Blooms and why?
It fits in all going from bottom to top because the students have to understand, analyze, and then create their Voicethread pages

It is excellent for creativity and analyzing. Creativity being obvious, but I can post videos of the readings of poems and excerpts, which the students can comment on.
