VoiceThread

Web 2.0 is AMAZING! My newest experience has been with VoiceThread. I can't begin to list the uses for this technology. I created a tutorial for diagramming simple sentences. This application could be used specifically for homebound students to keep up with lessons that are being taught at school. Also, students who are homeschooled can benefit from such technology, but it's not just for teachers to use! VoiceThread is easy enough for students to create their own. I believe once you turn students loose with this technology, their imaginations will soar! Their creativity will shine! Enthusiasm will be heightened! VoiceThread will be their favorite new technology, too! The equipment needed to create a VoiceThread is minimal. You do not have to have a webcam, but if you do, you can use it with VT. A microphone allows you to record your voice as comments to the VT. It is as simple as pushing the record button. VT will bring new ideas into your classroom.
