VOICETHREAD IS AWESOME!
After becoming more familiar with voicethread, I've discovered that its a great tool to use in the classroom. Voicethread was created to make sharing ideas with others all around the world. When you use a voicethread the people involved in the thread can not only view the thread easily but they can be expand and express what the think about the thread. This tool is great to use with small businesses doing international work or for instructional purposes for multiple people.
I really enjoyed using this tool, at first I was confused on what exactly a voicethread was. After playing around on the website voicethread.com it was easy to create a voicethread of my own. I did a mine over weather and used HOTS like what is appropriate cloths to wear, activities to plan and transportation to use in certain weather. The kids will be able to record their own opinons on what they think is appropriate and elaborate on what the weather is like.
I can see myself using this tool a lot as a teacher to help explain different information. Its a easy way to get the kids involved in the information and see if they are learning it or not. With the voicethread you can use it for all subjects and in many different ways. I am excited to learn more about voicethreads and expand on my uses of the voicethread tool. I used a lesson plan to help me plan out what my voicethread would be like, then I made it come together with photos and math problems. I am very pleased with my very first ever voicethread, I am impressed with how easy they made it to create.
