Vinnie, that is a great idea and execution - thanks for sharing. Another teacher and I used voicethread during March - Women's History Month - to have the student present a story of a choice a woman she knew that changed her own personal history. It was great and moving, but we kept them private, so I can't share. I have a problem with ed.voicethread account though - as students added their story it took a long time for my account to load!!
Dis anyone else encounter that slowness?

Did you know that you can embed these in the post by copying the embed code? I hope you'll go back and use the embed code to do this. It is a very valuable tool. Let me know if you need some help.

Another VoiceThread project which I am very proud of is one our Junior put together http://voicethread.com/share/139400/. This project had students pick and demonstrate the 13 days that changed American History. Good Stuff

Thanks for the feedback. When I get back to IL,. I'll pass this on to the creators. Glad you found it as inspiring as I did!

That is fantastic Jim. I am going to attempt to use voice thread in the K-2 section of the school next term as I have just discovered it is NOT blocked by our DET system. I enjoy watching other teacher's examples of how they used voice thread. I watched a really cute example on little one's dinosaur picture. I love the ability for others to comment on the student's work thanks for sharing

Jim: What a wonderful use of voice thread. I especially like how each student had drawn their own pictures to represent themselves. I am considering using this tool in my high school classes but am unsure the best way to approach it. I have been watching examples to generate ideas. Thank you!
