Thing #19-Voicethread

A voicethread is yet another unique tool that can used in the classroom. Since today's students are, for the most part, web savvy it a great way to add a personal touch to an assignment. I have used voicethread before at the conclusion of a research unit. Each of the students was asked to do a voicethread to provide a brief synopsis of their project. Then other students could listen to it and make comments or provide feedback. Since the subject matter was the same it allowed students access to a different perspective and therefore helped to reinforce their learning. In addition the students have a lot of fun with it because their fellow students are making comments.
