VoiceThread: Conversations Around Media
Date: August 18, 8:00 a.m. - 11:00 a.m.
Location: Carolina Forest High Lab B101
Description of Session: VoiceThread is a tool for having conversations around media whether it is an image, a video, a document, a presentation, or a combination of them. It can securely capture and hold an entire group discussion on one simple page. A VoiceThread is an online media album that can hold essentially any type of media (images, documents and videos) and allows people to make comments in 5 different ways - using voice (with a phone, a microphone, text, audio file, or video (with a webcam) – and share them with anyone they wish. A VoiceThread allows group conversations to be collected and shared in one place, from anywhere in the world. It can be used for collaborative digital storytelling at ALL levels of the school.
Handouts: Session participants will receive handouts detailing steps for creating a VoiceThread account, uploading media to VoiceThread, and leaving comments on the media.
Materials Necessary/Prerequisite Materials: Participants should have access to an image, a document, or a video for use in creating a VoiceThread presentation.

Thanks, Krista. I appreciate the handouts and patience as we flubbed around with our microphones. :-)I have seceral ideas for applications in my classes.
I didn't know this program was this versatile. Thanks for the information!
Thanks, Krista. I enjoyed your session. Great job:)
Hey! Hey! Hey! I finally found out what a blog was. Wow, I actually created a blog. Anytime I learn something new, I feel great. Thank you for this workshop. I enjoyed the session as well as the presenter. Very applicable information for the classroom.
This was very interesting. I thought about embedding a glogster creation and having students make comments. So creative! Thanks Krista!
I had no idea this even existed. I look forward to working more with it.
I am so glad that I have been exposed to this "voicethread" information. This year, perhaps, I can answer the questions correctly on the state's computer literacy test as they concern voicethreading.
I forgot about this site. Thanks for the refresher! I'm thinking of lots of ways to use this in the future.
Thank you Krista! I loved learing about voicethread and I will use it this year for summer reading projects. Great job.
I was happy to see this session, I have previously used voicethread and needed a refresher! I think it is a great extra credit tool or seldom homework tool. Also something students could use in the computer lab when they finish a lesson or test. Thanks, Krista
I am glad that I was able to come to this session. This was a great refresher course. This is somethign that I think the students will enjoy using, and not mind actually doing engaging work.
I love this! I will definitely use this for my Nonfiction Fridays. Hopefully my students will enjoy it. Thanks Krista!
This is neat and will be used. I kinda like it better than the glogs--we'll see what the students think as I'll use both in the classroom. Looking forward to it. Thanks.
