Voice Thread

Voice Thread is a tool that can be used to communicate with people(in a variety of ways) in a video like setting. This tool can be used in any learning enterprise because if students don't have a web cam and microphone, or they don't have any media files, they can still be a part of the process, through using their phone, or the text.

I used Voice Thread to give a brief response to the video Who Am I? I decided to use the telephone option as a way to comment. I chose this option because I was really curious about how it would work and if my voice would come in clear. I was really surprised because the whole process was easy and my voice came in loud and clear! I believe that this activity most closely matches ISTE NETS T standard of Student Learning and Creativity: "Teachers use their knowledge of subject matter, teaching and learning, and technology to facilitate experiences that advance student learning, creativity, and innovation in both face-to-face and virtual environments."

This activity could consist of both environments and inspire students to be creative with their technology even though sometimes it is scary and we don't always understand. Voice Thread is very cool and I definitely think students will love it!
