VoiceThread In The Classroom

Digital Story telling is a great resource to use in the classroom. VoiceThread gives you a chance to create a whole lesson using technology and students are on the other side interacting with your digital story. People from all over can view your voicethread and interact, leave comments, and learn for themselves. By using voicethread gives the students a chance to learn outside the classroom they can be at home and viewing your lesson and this is a fun and different way for them to learn instead of using pencil and paper. It also gives the students to hear one another and learn from each other. They are able to see other peoples responses to the activity or questions and can gain more knowledge from each other.

I have complete a VoiceThread of my own based on rocks and soil. Students are to be able to observe and distinguish the differences in different types of rock and soil. I have also created unit plan  which talks about recycling of rocks, soil and water. By using voicethread helps students to understand what they are learning. It hits all types of learners like kinesthetic, visual, and auditory. In my future classroom i hope to use voicethread because i think it is a great way to teach students. I would like to use it as homework work questions where they go home and have to view a voicethread and answer questions and interact with the other students.
