VoiceThread Extends the Classroom with Interactive Multimedia Albums | Edutopia - 5 views

      This link leads to a PPT that has some good ideas of how to use Voicethread in the classroom.
  • "I can basically extend my classroom," he says.

      I agree that it can extend the classroom. Class time never seems to be enough so I am glad that I now have this tool to use with my students.

      I loved this idea as well! This is the main reason I hope to use VT in my classroom
  • ...8 more annotations...
  • Ferriter says more students participate more actively in digital discussions than in the classroom.
    • elenistef7
       
      This to me is very important. There are always a couple students who will never want to participate in class, at least not orally. This will be such a relief to this type of student and I will be happy to count this as a way of participating in the course.

      I agree 100% there are many more introverted students that are wary of participating in class discussions, VT allows them to participate more without feeling uncomfortable.
  • "If you don't have a microphone on your computer, you can use a telephone to comment. If you're in the classroom and don't have either, you can use text if you need to, or webcam commenting.

      I like that students have the option of texting their response. Since I tech at a boarding school, those students that are in supervised study hall, may text their response so they won't interrupt others' studying. As long as I inform the proctors and the students don't stay on their devices for too long ;)

      This feature is great for those students who are creative and/or love to doodle.
  • I am collecting examples of how educators are using Voicethread in their classroom or for professional development on a wiki at: http://voicethread4education.wikispaces.com/
  • Ed.VoiceThread.com, a secure site just for educators and their students
    • ncsargo
       
      I'm going to have to look into this to see if this site is really more beneficial to educators than the standard site :)

Add a discussion page to PBworks - 1 views

  •  
    This is a function that I always thought was lacking in PBworks (compared to Wikispaces, for example) - now they are recommending this app as an add-in. Only a PBworks admin can add this however - you need to click the "Allow javascript" button. This page has screenshot instructions, if you're not sure how to add it. HOWEVER - I haven't been able to get it to work, yet... I don't know if it's a login problem or what. It shows up in the wiki page, but I can't add anything to the discussion.

    Here is a guy who is doing presentations on "60 web tools in 60 minutes" (60 seconds each).  This is a page with the current 60 listed - do you know them all?   and there is a link to the recording of his presentation/webinar, too, so you can see the whole presentation.

tsdwlstandards - Interpretive Reading strategies - 2 views

  • Reading Steps
    • Caroline Switzer Kelly
       
      No - this isn't exactly an article! But I'm glad I found it because s a very helpful summary of how to approach a reading with a view to comprehension. And I have highlighted this heading because it's a reminder that reading can take different forms, and that each one is a process -- and those processes often have to be explicitly taught to our L2 students. We all tend to take reading and comprehending for granted and not realize how variety there can be in how we approach at text. And we tend to forget that it's not at all passive. It's a complex process in our L1. How much more so in an L2.

Voicethread 4 Education - home - 2 views

    Thanks! Now we have more examples on what we can do with VoiceThread in our classes ;-)
  •  
    We have many creative ways to apply in class.

    Cool to see a Wiki in action. Thanks, Ergan! The problem with Wikis is that sometimes the writing isn't so great - I noticed that with the college tab here. I suppose since it's open, I could edit it!
