VoiceThread

So what is VoiceThread? VoiceThread is a website not only educators and students could use, but even post-secondary and businesses worldwide could avail of. It is a website where you can upload documents, video clips, conduct a book talk, presentation, etc. using multi-media type of presentation. It is collaborative in a sense where you give students the opportunity to take part in a project-based learning with an embedded media.

An advantage for using VoiceThread would be the learning experience the students will benefit from. Instead of just creating a poster board for a book talk, they can actually digitalize their book talk presentation using this tool. Furthermore, it provides for hands-on learning and engaging conversation using media.

A disadvantage would be the amount of time it requires students to complete an assignment. An entire class period alone will not be enough, especially if the school is on a 50 minute bell schedule like we are here in Hopwood Jr. High School.

Overall, it is a great tool to use in class. I feel that the teachers and students will have a wonderful time using embedded media to conduct presentations, projects, etc.
