Great explanation of Voicethread and some very scaffolded examples of how we can use Voicethread in our classrooms. Lee does a wonderful job of developing a compelling reason for using Voicethread and how to accomplish your goals.
that over 700,000 historical images from The New York Public Library's Digital Gallery are now freely and instantly available whenever you're creating a VoiceThread. Our new Media Browser allows you to search or browse these primary
source materials - maps, photos, drawings, paintings, posters and more, and then import them directly into any VoiceThread. Links back to the original location of the images on the web are automatically inserted to make citing and
attribution easier for you and your students.
NIce slideshare about digital storytelling and the use of voicethread to accomplish that. Slide 2 quote: "In educationeze, it's Multimodal Writing.
While any use of a computer to help present a story could be called digital storytelling, it's now a term of art for a presentation with a scripted voice-over narration which is illustrated by a series of mostly still images, sometimes with brief video clips, often with a musical background added."
A little not taking oneself too seriously with what I think is a good description of digital storytelling.
The Great Books Foundation is focusing on the holocaust and the Diary of Anne Frank in this piece. I believe it is an excellent example of how to inorporate technology into instruction to enhance the conversation. Note that they are utilizing Voicethread as a tool for increasing conversation about the topic.
I think our school is right on the edge of using many different sites and strategies with technology. We will be moving into a new building and be thrust into how to have students use this technology. I want to use extranormal (animation) with my intervention students. I need to look at google docs and voicethreads.
