Voicebook

What is a VoiceThread? If you want to use a video for your classroom, would you use VoiceThread? Why?

Apparently, VoiceThread is a type of multimedia presentation that includes voice, images and videos. It also allows for people to interact with the presentation, by adding their own text, drawing, and images.

As far as using this in the classroom, I sort of doubt it. While I'm all for new technology in the classroom, this one seems to be a little over-elaborate. If I want to present a video, I'll probably just use YouTube and let my class discuss it aloud.

Week 10

Please tell me how thing went and how you felt about the activities. Please feel free to give suggestions.

The activities went pretty smoothly, to be honest. I didn't have any particular trouble with the assignments.

How did you feel about creating a brochure this week?

Wel, I've never created a brochure before, but I was surprised at how easy it was.

Is there any muddy point that you need to review?

Nope

How do you feel about Desktop Publishing? We have created a brochure and a resume. What
else do you think we can do with Desktop Publishing? If you have to create one thing for your classroom, what would you create by using Publishing and why?

It's not that bad a program, and I'd probably use it if I had to come up with, say, a worksheet or something similar. As far as something for the classroom, I'd use it to make worksheets or handouts, or something similar.
