Our class has been getting into online discussions with our Moodle course site, but I want to move it beyond basic text chat.
Enter VoiceThread. This is a very easy to use audio/video comment collector on an image or slideshow you create. Well, it's more than that, but this is how I wish to use it. As you can see from the previous blog, you first upload an image, then as students or anyone to comment on it.
First time in, students will be asked to create a user account, but it is done right on the embedded object and they are not diverted to another website. Very cool. Then they just start recording voice or video, or typing if that's all they could do.
All my grade 11 students understood how to use it, but some of their voices were not recorded. I've asked voicethread about it. We'll see what they say. Still, it's worth checking out! Each way to ask for comments on your blog or where ever.
