Day Four: Fooling around with VoiceThread

This is a late posting but on Day Four of ATI (Advancing Technology Institute 2009) Nicolette introduced VoiceThread, another way to facilitate a forum for academic discussions. I created two - one with simple text comments and another to critique an issue of Pawprints, the MHS student newspaper. This was relatively simple to learn. Not only useful as a teaching tool, VoiceThread could provide another way for students to demonstrate mastery of a concept beyond writing an essay or taking a test. (It would not replace these assessments but rather supplement them.) On a side note, I got a chance to mess with code on Blogger to expand sidebar and main content windows and felt super-cool!
