On Tuesday March 3, I visited Mrs. Melessia Mathis' Instructional Design V: Science and Social Studies class at Union University. These preservice teachers are involved in planning lesson plans for science and social studies. We reflected back into their instructional technology experiences (e.g., EDU250) and began to make possible connections of technology integration, as their lesson plans begin to unfold.
We took a look at a few Web 2.O tools. One of the tools is Voice Thread and it can be found at http://voicethread.com
“A VoiceThread is a collaborative, multimedia slide show that holds images, documents, and videos and allows people to leave comments in 5 ways - using voice (with a mic or phone), text, audio file, or video (via a webcam). Share a VoiceThread with friends, students, and colleagues for them to record comments too.
Users can doodle while commenting, use multiple identities and pick which comments are shown through moderation. VoiceThreads can even be embedded on web sites and exported to MP3 players or DVDs as archival movies.
With VoiceThread, group conversations are collected and shared in one place from anywhere in the world. All with no software to install.”
Enjoy visiting Plymouth Rock and viewing our first experiences with VoiceThread. Explore different ways to join in the discussion and feel free to leave your comments!
I am looking forward to the preservice teachers submitting their VoiceThread, as well.
