Re-Submission: VoiceThread

VoiceThread is described as a multimedia tool in which subscribers may express thoughts, ideas and instruct on various topics. VoiceThread, can used as a multi-faceted blog tool for students. Richardson, W.(2006) asserts: “…learning specialists Fernette and Brock Eide’s research shows that blogging in its truest form has a great deal of potential positive impact on students” (pg.20).

TechnoLang has created a VoiceThread workshop for ELL and Special Needs Educators. Zena MaNais facilitates the workshop in a PowerPoint presentation that demonstrates how to use VoiceThread as a multimedia, collaboration tool. Included in the presentation are sample VoiceThreads created by fellow contributors: Jane Edwards, Cliff Kicklighter, Bethany Stiefel, and Matt "The Coach" White.
