EXAMPLES
(The obvious being that it’s way more fun than a lecture!)
VoiceThreads you find to be successful in class can be recycled
It is very simple to add, remove, revise, or update information if necessary
Share VoiceThreads with students: As a prompt for a HW assignment As a review of information covered in class a). Catch-up for absent studentsb). Study guide for quiz/memory refresher c). Re-visit material with pause, rewind, and fast forward options
ADVANTAGES
Share VoiceThreads with parents: Keep them posted on what their children are
learning Classroom expectations (Ex: Welcome to 1st Grade;
Field Trips) Student work/progress can be tracked by teacher,
student, and parent Teachers can provide feedback directly on
presentation Students can provide feedback on each others’
presentations Teacher, student, and parents can view this input
