Voicethread

I loved voicethread! I think all the interactive ability that it has is amazing!! You have all the abilities of blogs and then add on doodles and voice messages and more....I think that voicethread would be a great tool for the classroom. I realize that some people might be hesitant to using it because it is SO interactive but I don't see how voicethread could be labeled has harmful and blogs or any other use of the Internet can be labeled as good. I think the answer to protecting the students is the same for the other uses of the Internet and that is monitoring their activities.

Voicethread has so many possibilities that I think it could be used in any classroom in any number of ways. In my classroom I can have daily artists and their work posted on voicethread and then have open discussion relating to this artist. Students then could leave written comments or a voice message or doodle on the piece of art to illustrate what they would have put into the art piece or take out of the work. This is just one idea...I think their are many other ways this program can be beneficial to a classroom.
