EDCT 203 Assignment # 8 VoiceThread

Here is a link to my own mock VoiceThread.  I made this voicethread for my students to learn a little bit about me.  After watching mine, they will make a VoiceThread about themselves so I can learn about them.

Mock VoiceThread

I really enjoyed learning about this mean of digital storytelling.  It was even fun to make! I like the idea of students making a VoiceThread about themselves.  That way, they can pick out pictures of people, activities, or things that are very important to them.  After they have done that, they get to tell me why those those things are important to them through a voice message or a text box message.  They can even have family or friends comment on the picture, sharing memories and stories. 
I like this idea because I want to know my students.  I want to know them outside the classroom, and I want to know what interests they have!  We could also have a "movie day" and watch everyone's VoiceThread so that all the students know some fun things about each other.
This method of digital story telling could also be used in a variety of ways for lessons. However, I really like the idea of getting to know my students this way.

Several standards were addressed:
1. Facilitate and Inspire Student Learning and Creativity (Students had freedom to create their own identities and choose their own style and direction for their VoiceThread.)
3. Model Digital-Age Work and Learning (By making a model VoiceThread myself)
* Commit to the Well-being of Students, Families, and Communities

Among others.
