Photo Discussions
Lately, I have been having a great time experimenting with different online presentation and discussion options. I had never realized that there were SO many options other than PowerPoint. The latest one that I have tried is called VoiceThread.
In the classroom, VoiceThread would be a way for students to actively discuss photographs. The teacher could post a slideshow of photos and the students could discuss them online. Students, with an account, can choose to record a comment or type a comment that they might have. They can also web chat with other students about the photos.
The best part about VoiceThread is that the basic version (which is all that a classroom would need) is absolutely free. So… go to voicethread.com to try it out yourself!!!
