Instructional TechnologyAssignment: VoiceThread
Due: June 4, 2010
Required Documentation:
Create a blog post that reflects on your experiences with VoiceThread including this activity? What ISTE NETS T would you consider this activity most closely matches and why?
- Prior to this activity, I had no experience using VoiceThread, and didn't even know what it was. Since completing the activity, I think that VoiceThread is a unique discussion feature, and can be utilized as an interesting way to answer questions, like we had to do for the assignment. I think since using the activity, I will incorporate VoiceThread into my classroom when I've completed my degree and am working in a classroom.
According to the ISTE NETS T standards, the one that most closely matches this activity, in my opinion, would be: (3) Model Digital-Age Work and Learning. ... From this category, I chose (b) as the one that most closely matches the activity: Collaborate with students, peers, parents, and community members using digital tools and resources to support student success and innovation. I think the activity most closely matches this standard because we're incorporating new digital technologies into the classroom, which gives the students a new way to succeed since the way of using paper and pencil might not be their cup of tea. We're allowing them to experiment with different ways of learning so they're able to determine which way is the most successful for them in the long run.
Learning Outcomes:
Q1. What is a VoiceThread and how can they be used in any learning enterprise?
- VoiceThread is a tool that is used to have group conversations, and then have them stored in one place. The VoiceThread holds images, documents, and videos. A VoiceThread can be used in a learning environment to increase the knowledge of digital technologies, and to also bring into the classroom a variety of learning tools, and new ways to learn, without having to use paper and pencils.
ISTE NETS T - (3) Model Digital-Age Work and Learning. (B) - Collaborate with students, peers, parents, and community members using digital tools and resources to support student success and innovation.
