Creating a VoiceThread on Web 2.0 in Education

In one of our Classroom 2.0 LIVE Conversations this week we had a great idea for gathering advice and tips for using specific Web 2.0 programs in education: to create a VoiceThread with each program as a slide page. Folks can then come in and add their comments by voice or audio, making a great resource for others.

So, I've tried to gather the widely-used programs into a VoiceThread, which is embedded below and is also available at http://voicethread.com/share/64843/.

1) If you use a program that is *not* in the VT, please comment here so I can add it.

2) If you think the VT would be better ordered just alphabetically, instead of by type of program, please also comment about this.

3) If this project actually works (smile), then I'll add the VT to the main page of CR 2.0!

4) You can also embed this VT in your blog or site. Go to http://voicethread.com/share/64843/, click on the "cogwheel" icon at the top left, and you'll see an "embed" option which gives you different code options to do this.

I think this is a great idea. Enabling others to add comments on how they use the various web tools will be helpful to everyone. Thanks for this tremendous contribution!

I am collecting examples of how educators are using Voicethread in their classroom or for professional development on a wiki at: http://voicethread4education.wikispaces.com/

My plan is to share these examples with other technology teachers who provide professional development in their schools.

Feel free to add your own examples or links to resources. Thanks in advance,
Colette
