Voice Thread

Hey guys!

This week I was asked to create a voice thread and make a comment, voice clip, or video on two of three slides of my choice. I found this page really similar to Google docs but Voicethread I found to be way more straightforward. The slides had all the options on them such as the “ + comment” button where it was easy for you to see and work with. The slides on Digital Responsibility all had questions on them which was really easy to answer on the side. I also found it really helpful that I could see other people’s comments if I wanted to see what others though as well as if I was stumped for ideas. I think Voicethread is a great way for people to comment on a slide show presentation that you may have created.  Voicethread is really user friendly as you can make small voice clips, video, or comment based on which you prefer. I find that Voice Thread is really well organized which makes it that much easier to use. I found that I got the hand of it after playing around for 10 minutes or so. Like is said earlier, I thought it was really beneficial that I got to read other peoples comments so I am able to really understand everyone’s opinions and different perspectives expanding my learning and knowledge. I think this program is very useful for even a teacher’s use that they could use in a lab or seminar as it is really hands on and you can get everyone’s point of view.

I would definitely put this into my PLE in the organization and communication section as it is a really good recourse for organizing individuals such as class mates opinions and seeing what they have to say. Communication is a large use of this tool through comments (texts), voice memos, and small video clips. This allow for individuals to choose their most preferable way for communicating over Voicethread. As a result, I do believe that this is a really useful tool that we should take advantage of and be used by both us students and teaches.

Thanks, 

Jess!
