American Council on the Teaching of Foreign Languages - 0 views

  •  
    This is one of the most well-known authorities on learning and teaching foreign languages. Members can locate resources on foreign language teaching and learning, as well as connect with other foreign language teachers. Perhaps foreign language teachers could use the Oral Proficiency Interview rubrics to help grade speaking assessments submitted on VoiceThread? Our group plans to continue to follow this organization to look for additional resources related to VoiceThread.

Cyberbullying - 0 views

  •  
    While this resource does not have to do with VoiceThread directly, I think we need to be aware of this problem and of resources which raise awareness to combat this issue. Cyberbullying is unfortunately becoming more and more popular with the increased use of social media, and teachers always need to be on the lookout for it in the technologies we use for our classes. This is an animated little video discussing the wide range of what is classified as cyberbullying along with the possible repercussions of cyberbullying. Geared towards younger students.

Second Life VoiceThread - 0 views

  •  
    This is a great example of "commenting" in action on a VoiceThread. You can see examples of the many different ways to leave a comment: audio, video, text. We use this resource as an example of "what VoiceThread can do" and our group viewed this VoiceThread to learn about the ways teachers can use VoiceThread (screencasts, screen shots, commenting, etc).

Using Audacity - 0 views

  •  
    This is a PPT presentation that walks you through how to record with audacity. While users must download this program, using Audacity to record audio can work as an alternative to commenting directly onto a VoiceThread. Using Audacity, students can create mp3 files, save them to their computer, send the files to their teacher, or upload the file as a VoiceThread comment.

PodBean - a collection of podcasts - 1 views

  •  
    Stumbled upon this today - you can subscribe to different podcasts. There seems to be many different topics that educators can search for, but this link is to a search for podcasts with "francais" tags. Link to VoiceThread: teachers could use a segment of the podcast as a prompt for discussion.

Audio Drop Boxes through MSU - 0 views

  •  
    MSU's Center for Language Education and Research (CLEAR) has created this free resource. I haven't used it as a teacher yet, but one of my French classes used this for speaking presentations. If I remember correctly, students entered in a classroom ID and then made recordings.

PhotoPeach - make videos - 0 views

  •  
    Probably similar to Digitales, students create a slideshow and can add text. No voice recording possible, but something to explore all the same.

Audacity - Voice Recordings - 0 views

  •  
    Audacity is a program used to record audio in mp3 files. Users must download the program, but then they can easily record audio. Files can be sent to teacher or can be uploaded to a VoiceThread as an alternative to leaving a comment directly on the VoiceThread. Many schools currently use Audacity as a recording tool in language labs.
