How can I use Voicethread in Education?




How can we use Voicethread in Education?



         Voicethread is one of the most wonderful tools that I have ever seen because I can do lot of things on it. For example I can upload pictures and start commenting using different tools such as typing, recording my voice, adding a web cam video or a phone call. For that reason, I think that using this tool in education could be so interesting for those students who really like to surf on the net, and also for those who are visual learners. I would use this program with students of Intermediate English as they are more able to talk in English. I imagine an assignment in which I upload information of an interesting topic for young adults. In this case I am going to mention “Marriage”. So, I would post my information about it and later students have to comment on it and give their own opinion.
But, I would assign them a different way to comment on the presentation. (Some would type, others would record their voice, and the rest would do it by a web cam video.) I can say that in this way I can use Voicethread in education with the only purpose of making a class different and interesting at the same time.
