<p>Hello,</p>
<p></p>
<p>I have planned a tele-collaborative project that allows students in the U.S. to have an inter-lingual exchange with students from Spanish-speaking countries - preferably Spain.</p>
<p></p>
<p>If you are interested, please visit this site: immersionexperience.weebly.com in order to register your class. You can use this forum to communicate with me but once you register your class there will be another forum for communicating that will be explained.</p>

<p>Hello,</p>
<p></p>
<p>I have planned a tele-collaborative project that allows students in the U.S. to have an inter-lingual exchange with students from Spanish-speaking countries - preferably Spain.</p>
<p></p>
<p>If you are interested, please visit this site: immersionexperience.weebly.com in order to register your class. You can use this forum to communicate with me but once you register your class there will be another forum for communicating that will be explained.</p>
<p></p>
<p>You can register if your students are in the U.S. or a Spanish-speaking country. The focus will be for Spanish I students but the project has the ability to be modified.</p>
<p></p>
<p>Deadline for registration is December 15, 2012. The project is a six-month on-going project that ends June 5, 2013. You may visit the site to answer further questions or contact me directly.</p>

<p></p>
<p><span><span class="a">SUMMARY:</span></span></p>
<p><em><span class="a">Many Web 2.0 tools offer features that make learning math, science or writing techniques more fun. </span><span class="a">Many allow connections to happen between users. Some help students publish and create. Very few </span><span class="a">of these tools, however, can provide a platform for ANY subject with controlled levels of collabora</span><span class="a">tion & publishing while putting interactive media features in the hands of students. The VoiceThread </span><span class="a">website & accompanying mobile application go well beyond the average for digital educational plat</span><span class="a">forms. In fact, <strong>VoiceThread SETS the standard</strong> for safety & security, scalable adoption, customization,</span><span class="a">& most of all- results! If you want your students to join the ranks of thousands who are easily <strong>creating </strong></span><span class="a"><strong>meaningful, interactive content</strong>… then please read on!</span></em></p>
<ul>
<li>How have you used VoiceThread in your classes? What is your opinion of the new mobile version? Have you paid for a class or district level subscription?</li>

<dt> I am attending the Calif. Library Association/Calif. School Library Association conference this week and
presenting on VoiceThread. For fun, and for an example, I'd like to<br />
create a VT on why people attend the conference, and have them<br />
contribute comments during it. I know VoiceThread was working on a<br />
mobile app, but that doesn't seem to be available. Do any of you have<br />
ideas of how I can most easily get people to comment without being tied<br />
down to a computer plugged into the Internet? I keep thinking there must<br />
be a way to do it from cell phones.</dt>
</dl>
Followup from <span style="font-weight: bold;">Peggy George</span> on Nov. 9th, 2010:<br/>Hi Jane, I don't know of a way to record comments on a Voicethread without being tied to a computer. You might be able to use an alternate
method just to capture their comments about the conference using one of<br />
the mobile phone tools like Wiffiti or Poll Everywhere. They can record<br />
audio from cell phones with tools like iPadio or Podomatic but none of<br />
these would be directly connected to Voicethread. Just a few<br />
work-arounds but nothing that really does exactly what you want. Sorry. <a rel="nofollow" href="http://wiffiti.com/">http://wiffiti.com/</a> <a rel="nofollow" href="http://ipadio.com/">http://ipadio.com/</a> <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.podomatic.com/">http://www.podomatic.com</a><br />
<a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.polleverywhere.com/#">http://www.polleverywhere.com/#</a><br/><br/><br/>From Mark Carls (same day):<br/>To the best of my knowledge, I'm not sure what mobile app will let you comment onto a Voicethread either. I have an iPad an know it fights with the Flash and I can't view them on there. If they have laptops with good wifi (sometimes an issue at conferences), but I'd go with some of Peggy's suggestions..... I like the idea, though, just not an 'app expert' with what you can do with other systems. However, maybe that flash restriction with iPhones/iPads may be letting up.<br/><br/>Good luck.<br/> Is it worth the 60 dollarstag:www.classroom20.com,2010-11-05:649749:Topic:5259612010-11-05T13:46:22.408ZMark Carlshttps://www.classroom20.com/profile/MarkCarls
<p>Hi All,</p>
<p>How many of you are using the professional classroom Voice Thread where you get 100 student logins? Is it worth the money? How are you using it? I only see students once a week for 50 mins. in the library but I was going to have them use Voice Thread for a project. I am just wondering if I should just let them do a wiki page instead. Thoughts?</p>
