Resource due 6/15

http://voicethread.com/#home

I know that I shared a resource from EDUC 525 last time, but I also found this one particularly useful. Voicethread enables you to create a powerpoint like voiceover with drawings and text with or for your students. All you have to do is go to the link above and create an account for yourself, which takes about two minutes. Then you can create these voiceover slide shows by downloading pictures and then recording your own voice and adding text. This would be very useful to use when creating presentations to show to students, or one could even have students create their own slide shows themselves. You will probably have to download the pictures and do a demo for them, but it is pretty easy. This would be great for collaborative work in teams and I was thinking that it would be especially great for kids who have anxiety about presenting to their peers because their voice would be already recorded.
