Katie,

Here are some examples of Voice Threads:

Welcome to Jen's English Village

In this Voice Thread  students are asked to introduce themselves and tell what they hope to learn in the class.

 

El vocabulario de la casa

In this Voice Thread students are asked to practice vocabulary by identifying objects in a picture.

 

Agriculture

In this Voice Thread students are asked to identify which country is the exporter of certain crops.  (Click of large black arrow to see start of questions).

 

Using a Spanish-English Bilingual Dictionary

This is a detailed  tutorial about using a bilingual dictionary followed by comments by students applying what they learned.  However, because the practice part is limited to 2 sentences, the possible answers by students are limited.

Hi! I am a students at Illinois State University and I was wondering if someone could explain to me what VoiceThread is.

Hi Jane, I don't know of a way to record comments on a Voicethread without being tied to a computer. You might be able to use an alternate method just to capture their comments about the conference using one of the mobile phone tools like Wiffiti or Poll Everywhere. They can record audio from cell phones with tools like iPadio or Podomatic but none of these would be directly connected to Voicethread. Just a few work-arounds but nothing that really does exactly what you want. Sorry. http://wiffiti.com/ http://ipadio.com/ http://www.podomatic.com http://www.polleverywhere.com/#

I am attending the Calif. Library Association/Calif. School Library Association conference this week and presenting on VoiceThread. For fun, and for an example, I'd like to create a VT on why people attend the conference, and have them contribute comments during it. I know VoiceThread was working on a mobile app, but that doesn't seem to be available. Do any of you have ideas of how I can most easily get people to comment without being tied down to a computer plugged into the Internet? I keep thinking there must be a way to do it from cell phones.

Hi everyone. I'm a primary (elementary) school teacher from New Zealand, also a Deputy Principal. New to Voicethread but very excited about the possibilities I've looked at so far. I'm involved in the Global Education Conference 2010 - another new and exciting challenge.

Is anyone having trouble with inked comments on various slides coming up on the same slide?
Mims Comment by Mims on August 15, 2010 at 9:14pm
Never mind. I got the answer to my question.
Mims Comment by Mims on August 15, 2010 at 9:11pm
Am I supposed to make student accounts for my students in order for them to comment on the Voicethreads I have created?
