VoiceThread

I have to say that this was a very fun activity. It was great to be able to analyze a picture and put in some voiced comments about what you view in a picture. I feel like this tool could be used in many ways. It could allow students to explore and use their own creativity to create their own voiced stories about still pictures. I also thought it was really neat that you could insert drawings or even character bubbles into pictures. I think that my class would have a ball with this tool, and I really feel that if I had the appropriate equipment at my school, I could get even more involved with using voicethread in my classroom. I think it would provoke much entertainment. -Krysta

This is definitely a very cool program to use. However, I felt a little self-conscious recording myself in class. I wonder if kids might feel the same way. Some might need a quiet spot to record themselves. - Lisa

I enjoyed using viewing Voice Thread. But i have to agree with Lisa. I am self-conscious about hearing my own voice. I hate leaving messages and cringe everytime I hear my own voice. Am I the only one? BUt there is the option of typing what you want to say so thats good. But it could be fun to do- hearing what peopl had to say from our own class made me laugh out loud so it could be fun!- Sara

I found a good tutorial on Youtube.com on how to use VoiceThread. Check it out [|here]. -Sara

I agree- I do not enjoy hearing my own voice, my digital story made me very uncomfortable. I am using Voice Thread for my final literacy project but I am having my students record so I am ok with it. I can not wait to see how the final product turns out. Students are very excited about this project and we are almost finished, can't wait to share!- Rosanne
