What are they thinking?
Students will analyze pictures by adding text or audio comments to the Voice Thread What are they thinking? Students will be making inferences, drawing conclusions and using empathy skills.
The benefits of using Voice Thread include collaboration, creativity, communication, and no software to install. This tool is free, user friendly, available as a mobile app(iPad,iPhone and iPod) and provides multiple ways of sharing. Allowing students various ways to comment through text, audio and drawing provides an opportunity for choice. Capturing voice, and comments on a single slide is a unique way for collaborators to respond, read and organize ideas. The barriers of using Voice Thread may include access to the internet and needed equipment. As with any collaboration tool, it's important that the facilitator provide the necessary requirements for the particular age group.
