Voice Thread

I found this activity to be very neat and fun! Here my voice thread that I have created. Voice Thread is definitely something that I can see myself not only using in the classroom but with my little boy as well. This is a wonderful way to help me create and catch some of his first phrases and statements. I have never used Voice Thread before so this was a new experience for me. It was very easy for me to register and sign up. It was not difficult at all to upload my picture(s). It was very easy for me to set up my voice recording with the picture. I used the microphone to do this. I did run into a little trouble with thinking that my voice would cover all the slides that I chose. I realized that I would have to do my comments per picture and that they would not rotate during one comment. It basically does one comment/voice thread per picture. I also had some difficulty getting my Voice Thread link to work correctly. I forgot my blog username, I changed my password, and finally when I went to copy and paste the link it worked!

This activity would closely match ISTE NETS T number 3: Model Digital - Age Work and Learning. This activity will allow teachers to demonstrate content and concepts with the use of a technology tool within a digital society. This would show that the teacher understands new technologies and knows how to use them. This also allows students, teachers, parents, and peers work together and participate in this activity. It is important that this tool is used appropriately and the content is applicable to the content standards and objectives. We were given a wonderful source of lessons that used Voice Thread in effective ways. Here is where you can go to view the Voice Thread usage ideas.
