VoiceThread Article

The article explained several features of using VoiceThread and the affordances it enables. The author explains that it is important to have proper planning in order to achieve desired learning outcomes. Like many other technological tools, VoiceThread is only as good as the way in which it is used. VoiceThread allows the user to tell a story or explain a topic through the use of technology. Students can express their ideas and receive feedback from others. They can do this by commenting through speech, written word, or video. I have not used Voice Thread in my Physical Education classes; however I can see how it could be integrated into an ELA classroom. It would be a great way for students to collaborate on a subject. In a previous NYIT class, my group had to present our topic on VoiceThread. After the initial slides were designed, it was easy for each of us to add our own information to the project.
