VoiceThread - Conversations in the cloud - 0 views

    This allows teachers to hold a forum. Students can reply with audio or text to a question. They can even draw on the existing image to make a point. Others in the group can then respond in turn.

    As you could tell from our class using it, I think this would be great for small group discussions versus the whole class. I could see this being used efficiently for a group presentation that the students would create and then have another group comment on the voice thread for pointers on what to consider, etc. This resource is definitely both uses depending on how you set it up whether it is a teacher forum or a student led forum.

    Great site to use for collaborative projects. So many ways to share and communicate.

    Allows a teacher to create a private discussion board. The teacher post a topic and students can then reply to the topic. Great for a simple discussion board.

    Kelsey, would this have any value for teachers or just "Tweens"?

    This is an interesting site. Is it specifically for girls? I think it would be of value to our school counselor but I am not sure how to use it in biology. I agree, looks like a great way for tweens to connect.

    I agree that this can be used in the classroom. However, I see its value as an extension to the regular curriculum. Girls need positive role models just as boys do and this looks like a great forum for girls to receive that positivity. I see this as mostly for students because I doubt that students would comment freely and effectively if they knew their teacher was reading their posts. This is the first resource of this kind that I am aware of. I am not sure of any other site that allows for this kind of communication. Great find.
