Hi Matt, I also use voicethread as a Web 2.0 tool in the classroom - e.g. regarding webqests.
But I will ask my colleague: teacher in Biology if he like to team up with.
And what about exchanging vokis: introductions of students (hobbies and more)
Greetings
Hans

Hans-

Voki exchanges would be something we'd be interested...that is something I've never played around with, but it would work well for a simple and achievable exchange projects.

Keep me posted!

Hi Matt-

We're just venturing into Voicethread for foreign lang. practice. I think I probably have teachers who would be interested in a collaborative project. How old are you students?

Hey Sarah-

I work with students and teachers in grades 5-8...we have French and Spanish foreign language classes who may be interested in collaborating. The voicethread project that I put out there is simply a lang. arts project for anyone. Sometimes I hesitate to try to connect our teachers with these types of projects b/c in the past there has been a tendency to drop the ball (when it isn't their own project, sometimes the buy in isn't great).

Let me know what grade levels you have and if there is any possibility for an exchange.

Thanks, Sarah!

Matt

Matt-

Thanks for the quick response.

I work with everyone up to 8th grade. 5-8 is in one building. I won't be in tomorrow, but next week I can put some feelers out and see if anyone would be interested in collaborating.

Hi guys

I would love to do a voki or voicethread with your classes
Can you tell me if you have used the basic vioce thread or have you upgraded to the pro - educators site which you pay for -
Have a great day - great to see your tree - I loved it

Jo,
You can get a K-12 educator account for free that gives you most of the stuff the Pro account provides. You just have to make sure you activate the account when they send you the email. I'm just getting started with Voicethread this schoolyear with my students in grade 7 who are ages 11-13.

That is a great idea Matt! What grade level were you thinking and be concise!
