Voicethread
Have you ever seen something as cool as Voicethread? This site offers free membership, with some mild limitations, but to upgrade to the Pro version is only $29/year which is imminently “do-able” if you decide that you want more voice threads available.
Basically this is a site that allows viewers to record their thoughts about whatever you post for them to look at. If you give them a picture to use as a writing prompt, the students can record their though verbally with only the use of a microphone! Or if you don’t have microphones, they can type in their responses. Viewers can listen/read all other submissions too!
To check out some inspiration for the classroom, click on the tab that says “classroom” and then click the box labeled bell work.
Talk about great feedback and a reinforcement tool students can use to recall what they learned about a particular diagram or issue. I am excited about this!
Here is the VoiceThread that i created quickly using a few pictures from our latest vacation.
