Voice Thread was something I’d never heard of before. It sort of mimics Youtube in that people can create and upload different videos and projects. It takes it a step further by also allowing users and viewers opportunities to comment with text or narration.
My main challenge was in creating a presentation that includes discussion. Because I see many children every week, deciding on which grade level and which activity to include was also challenging. I decided to do my voice thread on instrument families because it is something that I can use from grades 2-5. I am finding as I go further into my master’s program, that with each project I create, the more students I can use them on, the better. I also got a bit turned around when uploading my different slides.
Even with all of these challenges, I did enjoy using voice thread. I was able to use some of the materials I’d created in my Multimedia course for this project. Some of the slides were created for my Kiosk project, which focused only on 3rd grade students. The project was to help the 3rd graders prepare to join either band or orchestra. What I really like about technology, is that once you create something, you can use it in many different ways. This saves time and it also gets the information out to many more students.
