Goals and Purpose

This blog was designed as part of my pursuit of an Educational Specialist degree in Media/Instructional Technology. For my first class, MEDT 7464, Integrating Technology into Curriculum, this blog will be used as a communication portal with other class and project members about the various ways that educators utilize technology to enhance student learning. Another goal for this blog is to share technology-based projects using Voicethread, Comic Life, and MovieMaker that I have created throughout this class.

Voice Thread Technology (Blog 3)

I always enjoy learning something new and the Voice Thread technology was no exception. Whenever I learn something like this my mind begins to wander on all the things I can do with it. The different applications for my Math 1 class are coming to me every time I try the program. Today I set up an interview about technology integration and sent it out to my target audience. While doing this I thought about a KWL and how this can be done through Voice Thread. While working with team members on our project I got many more ideas for its uses. The most valuable part is how Voice Thread engages students in conversation and discussion.
Today a teacher I work with was telling me about how she wants her students to create documentaries in science and social studies. She ws asking about software where she could record her students voices. She didn't want the audience to have to read. I told her about Voice thread and this weekend I am going to help her set up a Voice Thread for her class to create these documentaries. I will enjoy finding more uses for this technology and implementing it into my classroom in the near future. Let me know your ideas for voice thread in a math class.
