I've recently learned about a great new online tool called VoiceThread. This website is a free digital story-telling application that allows you to upload documents slideshows, images, or videos. You can share your VoiceThread publicly or you can select a private group with which to share. Viewers of your VoiceThread can then comment with text, audio, video, and can even highlight or doodle on the slides themselves. One way educators are using this tool is to safely publish students' work. There are many options for using VoiceThread in the classroom, and the website has a section specifically for educators. Check out the links below for more information about using VoiceThread in the Classroom.
While I was researching this tool, I learned that the first step towards using VoiceThread effectively in the classroom is to become comfortable with it yourself. Therefore, this week, I did just that! If you're looking for an idea for dinner tonight or are just curious to learn more about VoiceThread, check out my VoiceThread experiment...

Shrimp Taco's are always great to learn about. :)
ReplyDeleteKate, I enjoyed reading your explanation of what VoiceThread is and the potential it has for educators and students. Also, the links you posted are valuable resources I plan to refer back to! P.S. The tacos looked delicious!
ReplyDeleteNicely done. Did you create your pictures in Powerpoint first & then import them into VoiceThread?
ReplyDeleteYes I did.
