Tech. Tuesday- December 6th

I love the web 2.0 application called VoiceThread!  With VoiceThread your students can have collaborative conversations around visuals.  Basically, students or teachers post what amounts to slide shows that contain photos, drawings, videos, documents, etc. and the rest of the class can comment on the slides via voice, text, audio file or video file.  None of this requires any software installation!  Users can also instruct while commenting using the "doodle" feature.  You can find VoiceThread at:  http://voicethread.com/
 Here is a demo! Give it a try!


As always, if you see something on this blog that you would like to know more about, I am happy to work with you 1:1 or in groups.
