Dear New Teacher,
Happy Tuesday, welcome to another installment of Technology
Tuesday! Today we are going to look at a fairly new-to-me technology, but one
that I am excited to try in my own classroom: VoiceThread.
A VoiceThread
is a collaborative, multimedia slide show that holds images, documents, and
videos and allows people to navigate slides and leave comments in 5 ways -
using voice (with a mic or telephone), text, audio file, or video (via a
webcam). Share a VoiceThread with friends, students, and colleagues for them to
record comments too.

VoiceThread can be used in a few ways,
1. As a way for you as a teacher to present information.
Think of it as a more interactive version of PowerPoint.
2. As a project for your students to complete on a given
topic. The interactive element of VoiceThread would allow students to comment
on each other's presentations and hold asynchronous conversations.
3. As a way for students to reflect on a course or topic,
with option of teacher providing feedback.
What other ways can you think of to use VoiceThread in the
classroom?
Feel free to play around on the VoiceThread site and share
what you come up with!
Best,
Mallory
