Before beginning this assignment, I had never heard of Voice Thread. I have thoroughly enjoyed experimenting and learning about this program. It is a great discussion tool that is “outside of the box.” The small group of students that I worked with was thrilled with what they learned. They all agreed that they wanted their teachers to start using discussions like this in the classroom. They seemed to really listen to what each other had to say. The reflection of reference material captured some great discussions among the group. I can certainly see how using Voice Thread in the classroom would be a great benefit for student learning. Students are truly engaged in the learning process when using Voice Thread. I look forward to sharing this program with my colleagues in hopes that they will take it back to their classrooms.
