Here is a a short VoiceThread that I have created to use with students while they work on their Relocation Guides in Social Studies. We have used these revision techniques before, so this VoiceThread will work well as a reminder.
The VoiceThread program is a neat one, but I'm not sure how often I will use it. The item I created is useful for students, but we often don't have access to computers. In terms of actually creating the piece, it was fairly intuitive and simple. However, one issue I had was having to upload text. I couldn't find a simple way to create a "slide" with some words on it. Instead, I had to convert it to a picture (I used PowerPoint) and then upload the image. A slide functionality would help with the over all creation. I can see myself using this if I really plan it out and my students have consistent computer access. Otherwise, I can't see it being overly functional for me. A flipped-classroom approach could make this tool more useable.
