Voice Thread for the classroom!
(click for great facts and a tutorial)
In Mrs. Kirkland's 5th grade class we are using an internet tool called Voice Thread in two ways...
First we are using the tool to document photos and facts for our Family History Project. We are studying our own time lines and discovering where we came from, what our ancestors lived like, and what our heritage is.
Mrs. K decided to start a timeline video for her daughter Azriela, who just turned one.
The students made a timeline video using multi-media (voice, photo, and music)!

(* a cool feature Mr's K discovered, was the instant upload tool. With just a click all of my Facebook photos were loaded onto my Voice Thread account! Easy!)
Mrs. K also discovered that her free subscription to Voice Thread only allowed her to upload 50 photos...which, for Mrs. K, was not enough!
We are also using Voice Thread in our weekly news pod casts! Each student group is assigned a section of our news broadcast, which rotates monthly. Here is a great example of another classroom using Voice Thread in their new pod casting!

I got to see a whole year of life pass by in a few minutes. Great pics. And I didn't know that FB pics slid right across. Appreciated the VT demo of podcasting the elementary classroom. Thanks for sharing.
