Thing #19

VoiceThread looks like an awesome classroom tool. This is another great way to motivated students and to differentiate products. I explored a variety of sites and found some fun ways to use VoiceThread. I can certainly see my teachers enjoying this tool and taking advantage of its potential. I liked the way students could present science fair projects with VoiceThread. The teachers could give feedback to the presentation as could other students. I also liked the idea of presenting a picture, piece of art, or presentation and asking students to reflect and respond. The class was asked to view this picture and give responses on where carbon is found. What a great way for teacher to see if the kids "get it!"

I loved the example where a student's picture was posted and others could share about why they liked the picture. What a great way to build a student's confidence and to give them insight into what others appreciate!

This VoiceThread gave a review of a book that had been read. This would be a fun project option for students to create. Other students could then listen to different reviews and pick the next book they wanted to read.
