  • hat while more research needs to be done, children already appear to be using devices at the expense of other important activities such as active play and hands-on exploration.

      This is a valid point. In my district, some fabulous elementary teachers are reluctant to integrate technology because they see their students disengaging from the lesson unless they are nose-to-nose with a flickering screen!

    The most useful information I gleaned from these articles falls into two categories: 1) benefits to students (why teachers should use discussion boards) and 2) teacher tips for success (how teachers should use discussion boards).

    First, discussion boards add interaction time between student/teacher as well student/student. DB also allow for every student to have a voice (not just the big personalities in the room ;-) and allows for more think time for students who process slower or who are simply shy. Discussion boards also hone communication skills...24 hours a day. Students are not constrained to any time frame and may contribute as their schedule allows.

    To maximize student benefit, instructors should monitor, monitor, monitor DB activity and review netiquette expectations for students. Also, all students should be required to participate; an initial icebreaker activity goes a long way toward encouraging participation. Considering the very public nature of a DB, teachers should refrain from publicly praising or correcting students. Finally, teachers should set clear DB expectations: how many response are required and what is the allowable time frame? What is the purpose of topics student responses?

    Gena, My deepest apologies...when I bookmarked the DB articles and posted my summary, my post somehow removed you as the author of your summary made it look like I authored your original post. I'm so sorry. I see that I can delete my post but I don't want to risk also deleting your summary. I am (obviously;-) new to Diigo.

      Voicethread works as an asynchronous discussion board, so students could work collaboratively in different class periods or locations.
  • You can look at examples of how other educators are using VoiceThread on its digital library or browse Ideas for using VoiceThread, a collection of 143 examples from the library

      If you aren't sure how you might incorporate Voicethread into your classroom/curriculum, check out how these teachers are using it.

      Sharon, I have taught in the elementary grades for years, and have struggled to find tech tools that were user-friendly to my students. Their frustration threshold is low! But I think Voicethread would require minimal training.

      Since virtually all of my students are struggling readers (I'm a dyslexia teacher), I think they would be more engaged with--and more willing to respond to--pictures or videos than a written prompt.

    How could Voicethread be used in the classroom to differentiate instruction?
