Voicethread in ESL classrooms | eveline fortin - 4 views

    • Maki Nakayama
       
      I really like this sentence because it means online education can be used for any level of students depending on teachers's teaching ways.
  •  
    While virtual classes are more and more popular in universities, there have been many attempts to create new technological tools to be use in online classes. Some teachers have adopted a well made online audio software: Voicethread. Voicethread is a website to which one subscribes and create an account.

      About theories behind Voice Thread
  • Online classes often unknowingly " dehumanize" individuals simply because they are reduced to an e-mail address without the " personal" closeness that often occurs in a synchronous class setting

      I think we would all agree with this professor and you through the activities you created these past weeks. We have played and created Voicethread activities and see the benefits of it to help integrate and motivate students to be creative, participate and not go unnoticed.

    Great!! This teacher is very clear with his purposes and instructions to students.

    The ideas about how to implement VoiceThreads in different disciplines are interesting. It applies more for teachers who work with children.

  • VoiceThread is a ridiculously simple online program that allows students to comment on authentic materials, whether they be pictures, documents, web pages, or video. Students can provide written feedback to the material presented along with oral feedback via their computer mics, web cams, or cellular phones.

      Voice Thread is very simple and fun to use it and students can work with authentic material. It is very good to practice listening comprehension and speaking.
  •  
    I have always looked at and wondered about using VoiceThread but have never actually done it until I took this class. I'm happy that I finally used it and I'm thrilled to see all of the suggestions for World Language activities that people have shared.
  •  
    Same as Anne! I only new about VoiceThread when I started Carla17 online course. Thanks for sharing this information. We can continue learning about all the advantages of it: free, facilitates learning through authentic materials, different modalities of response: oral, written, video, doodle.
  •  
    I agree with you that Voice Thread is simple and can be used very effectively in class.

  • Interactive tutorials made with VoiceThread ask students to practice what they learn outside of class, so the instructor can observe their practice, respond with feedback, or modify classroom teaching to address students' needs.

      This is a good example activity that I can adapt to use VT in a flipped classroom. I have started to see lots of potential in this tool.
  • Using a bilingual dictionary correctly is an important skill for nearly all language students, and this tutorial aims to help students understand how to use a dictionary well.

      This is a good idea!

      Instead of constantly reinventing the wheel, I love to see what other World Language teachers are doing in their classrooms. This article has some good activities that can easily be converted to any language.

      I really like this VoiceThread "did u know?" about cows.  Any topic can be used to encourage students to present information about the photos.

New Teacher Boot Camp Week 2 - Using VoiceThread | Edutopia - 1 views

  • It is an easy way to differentiate instruction while providing engaging choices to "show" learning, engage in conversation, and think openly and critically about content.
    • leahmyott
       
      Differentiation is so important for English learners. They don't always get a chance to make their voices heard, and this way, they can do it in their own time and space.
  • the value of a Web 2.0 tool is in its ability to enhance the student's learning experience, and allows teachers to be inspired to cultivate learning in a purposeful, dynamic way.
    • leahmyott
       
      I have found that looking on examples and tutorials gives me inspiration on ways to use Voicethread. I can be purposeful and dynamic - I feel I am at the tip of the iceberg in terms of ways I could use it.

  • Typically, your students will use their cell phones to take pictures and (where possible) record audio and video. Alternatively, a voice recorder or a video recorder can be shared among students. Many students have an IPod or other types of Mp3 player that can be used to record speech, which are ideal for interviews or self-recordings. By making use of the devices students already have, you minimise the need for the school to provide them.
