Thing 13 Voicethread.

I don't recall ever seeing a voicethread before this course. I enjoyed listening to comments from younger students especially in the Pecos Bill, and the dragon voicethreads. The science experiment and science fair experiment were also great examples of students using this technology to present material in a professional manner. I am going to attempt to set up a short lesson using voicethread and see how it goes with my students. I am going to use the same pictures I used in my slide show, and give the students an opportunity to make comments. Unfortunately we do not have wireless in my classroom, and my laptop is the only computer in the room with a microphone, so the use of this tool may not be totally practical at this point, but if I was at a school with those capabilities, I would use this tool a lot more often. I think voicethread could be a much better tool for me when compared to slide shows. The ability to interact will definitely enhance the involvement, enjoyment, and retention of my lower learners.
