Accepted Proposals :)

ILTL - Yes
ISETL - Yes
Reviewer 1 Comments: Your comfort level and familiarity with integrating digital literacy into the classroom is clearly evident and I think participants will be attracted to your session since instructors are always on the lookout for ways to freshen up their toolkits. Participants are more likely to try the strategy in their classroom when given the opportunity to practice a couple of techniques so guard against being overly ambitious in your session so as not to overwhelm. Sounds exciting!
Reviewer 2 Comments: This looks like an interesting session. Voice thread has been presented at ISETL in numerous sessions over the years. I suggest focusing on other, newer digital tools in your presentation.
ACRL - Yes
