CED 531, Class Two

I found this week's work on VoiceThread to be a great tool as well as a great frustration. Our frustrations were not born from VoiceThread's tools themselves but mainly from Internet connectivity issues. We were also disappointed that we were unable to upload music to VoiceThread. For the most part, I really liked VoiceThread for a few reasons and am strongly considering using it in my classroom. Primarily, I liked the ease with which photos could be uploaded and voice-overs recorded. When working with the population that I work with, the easier the better! Additionally, I like that the presentation is easily viewed by anyone you choose to share with. I did my first PhotoStory with my students this week. The process of copying and distributing the videos is much more time consuming than it is with VoiceThread. I could also see parents and co-workers contributing to VoiceThread from different locations making our project more interactive and enjoyable for the kids. I continue to be impressed with all of the resources available free to educators that are worth-while!
