 * //Metacognitive activities for all disciplines with VoiceThread // || Claudia Dugan || 1.5 || Any ||
 * For more than a decade, educators have been able to confirm that Metacognition plays an important role in student success, (Wilson, Bai 2010; Sternberg, 1998), at the same time, “Thinking about one’s own thinking” is not always natural to all learners. In this session, participants will explore pre- during- and post learning metacognitive activities that can be adapted for instruction with or without the use of technology. Examples will be given on how these activities can be used with "Voicethread". Participants will have the opportunity to interact with one another and to share their ideas. ||  ||   ||   ||
