VoiceThread

=Voicethread=

Students are using many skills to create a voicethread for science class. This one final product will be embedded in their blogs.

We started with research using notefacts about asteroid, meteoroids and comets. Each student became the expert on their topic. Using the jigsaw method, the students got into small groups to teach each other using visual. Scripts were then created for the voicethread. Using [|audacity], the students learned to record, edit and export their voices.

Each student needed to create a visual to go with their research. We used scrap paper and pencil. The visual was then photographed using a camera. I uploaded the images to a common share folder. The students had to rename their photo to include their code name and description.

The voicethread account is set up for the teacher, therefore, I will do most of the uploading on this first round.

Upon completion, the students will be given the 'embed code' for the voicethread. They will have to create a new blog post (called an article) that will allow html code. The embed code will be pasted in and the computer will do the rest. The voicethread is open to comments from others (if they have a voicethread account, which is free.)

Need headphones for those who don't bring earbuds. (I've purchased $1 headphones for a class. SA)
