Voice Thread...

Voice Thread is a cool site to share conversations between anyone, anywhere. Voice Thread is a great technology tool to use as an activity in the classroom, collaboration with peers or colleagues, or communication with parents or students who may be learning from home. Voice Thread is a collaborative, multimedia slide show that holds images, documents, and videos and allows people to comment on the slide show. Comments can be left in several different ways using Voice Thread: using voice with a microphone or telephone, text, audio file, or video using a webcam.

This was my first experience with using Voice Thread, and I found it to be very fascinating, especially since I did not have to download a THING! It is very simple to use and is an excellent tool to try out in the classroom!

The Voice Thread assignment closely relates to the ISTE.NETS Standards 1 and 2, to facilitate and inspire student learning and creativity and to evaluate authentic learning experiences. This assignment is the mimic of inspiring creativity in students. It also engages in learning with students, colleagues, and others in face-to-face and virtual environments. The Voice Thread assignment also designs a learning experience that incorporates digital tools and resources to promote student learning and creativity.
