I just heard a bit about VoiceThread - an online assessment tool. Has anyone used it? What can you tell me about how it worked for you and your students? Thank you!
ifestyles of children today and those of children in past generations. We thought it would be great for students to hear the experiences of real people in past generations and make their own comparisons.So we've started up a VoiceThread on the topic and we'd like to invite you to share your stories of when you were growing up. There are 10 questions altogether and you can add your comments in using audio, video, text or drawings - it's up to you! You can access our VoiceThread at this link: http://voicethread.com/share/904249/.
We look forward to your comments! :)…
e thoughts and feelings as other children all over the world. Just thought this might be an interesting little transition project.
If anyone is interested then let me know and I'll set it up and we can agree the format etc.
Cheers Steve

mputers this summer and we are still "working" to get them set up properly. My biggest challenge for the class was not being able to run VoiceThread on about half of them - our fautl, not VoiceThreads.
Otherwise - fun class!

tudents do an end of year voicethread introducing themselves (with a kid pix picture) to their next year's teacher. It was just a one computer class assignment but they enjoyed it. Next fall I hope to integrate more of the third grade content into voicethread.…
o your dictionary, do you mind if I share it with our Spanish and French teachers? Keith, what a cool idea for using Voicethread and explaining the graphs, making comments and asking questions. I would like to figure out how to use Voicethread with google docs, so when student's are reading each other's writing they can leave messages for revision and edits. When reading and commenting on essays, I'd also like to use Voicethread. It would be sooooo much faster than typing the comments, I hope! I use twitter and I'm smillerteacher there.…
r foreign language. I'll be sending the teachers I train, to use them with their students as part of a requirement for their licensed training. But before then, I'd love if some teachers could use them with their students and provide some great examples for the EFL / ESL students. It would be fantastic and help the foreign language students.
Any comments on the voicethreads are appreciated and any/all are free to use/participate.
Thanks,
David
