This month, I wanted to do something different for our Micro Project. Before I tell you what it is, I want to introduce you to this new tool called Voice Thread.

Now… what IS Voice Thread? Voice Thread is a program that lets you post a video or a powerpoint presentation and then allows other people to leave multimedia comments – like videos, sound, you can even leave a message with your phone. Best of all - It’s free to use and its a great new way to interact with your audience.

So here’s your MicroProject for Spring:

I want you to imagine yourself 20 years from now - in the year 2030. Where do you live? what you do? what’s the world like? what have you accomplished?

Imagine anything and everything - do you fly to work with a jet-pack or in a hover-car? Is there free global wireless for everyone? Or have genetically modified tomatoes taken over Kansas?

Use your imagination - but most of all dream your perfect future.
