Uses for VoiceThread in Education
VoiceThread was an easy tool that I had only used in my
college courses. I decided to use the prepared voicethread in a technology mini
staff development session. I am part of the math committee at my school so this
was great to discuss problem solving. It enabled me to upload pictures and record
audio commentary. During this particular session, it was used as just a
presentation but could be used as an interactive Q & A session for a later
time. With VoiceThread teachers and students can create virtual tours, report
on books they've read, comment on historically significant photographs, debate
a topic, and more. It’s rather simple to add audio, images and documents. VoiceThreads can be hosted free of charge at
VoiceThread.com and each VoiceThread has its own unique URL. All educators love
things that are free. A VoiceThread can be embedded in blogs, wikis, and other
types of Web sites. VoiceThread can play a key role in providing peer feedback
also. I believe students are actively engaged and finish with a clearer
understanding of what they have read. For students with special needs, it allows them
to collaborate through webcam commenting.
