Voice Thread

Dr. Baylen's Voice Thread project was my first experience using Voice Thread. I had briefly viewed a peer's voice thread in another class a while back but didn't remember all that much about it. I did my project using adults that I work with. The cool thing about this tool is that anyone can use it from Pre-K to adults. Of course, the younger students will need a little supervision but it is so simple for a teacher to set up identities and allow his/her students to comment on a particular topic. This web 2.0 tool can be used individually or collaboratively. I actually think there are more options than what I used for my project and probably more creative uses for it as well. Voice Thread offers a nice alternative to regular presentations such as PowerPoint. It adds a new level of excitement and motivation. None of my colleagues had heard of it, so it was fun to share with them as they helped me with my project. I am looking forward to evaluating and reviewing my peers' projects so that I can get more ideas. Luckily for me, this tool is not blocked in my county (yet!). :)
