Springing Forward with Tech @ Springfield

Above you will find a VoiceThread that I just created. I’ll let the creators of VoiceThread explain what one is… “A VoiceThread is an online media album that can hold essentially any type of media (images, documents and videos) and allows people to make comments in 5 different ways - using voice (with a microphone or telephone), text, audio file, or video (with a webcam) - and share them with anyone they wish. A VoiceThread allows group conversations to be collected and shared in one place, from anywhere in the world.”

A Learning Lunchthis SOON will focus on VoiceThreads. You will have the opportunity to make a VoiceThread yourself and even set up “identities” for your students.

How would you use a VoiceThread in your classroom?

Capture comments from a field trip.

Have parents comment on their ethnic backgrounds at the Diversity Extravaganza.

Have students comment on their own artwork.

A picture is worth a thousand words. Capture the different comments of each of your students for one picture.

Maps, science diagrams, math problems - you record the question, have your students record the answer and how they figured it out.

This is as user friendly as it gets. Come to Learning Lunch to find out more!!
