I just finished working on an idea I’ve been mulling over for a while. Today was the day to choose and resize the photos I wanted to include in the voicethread for the Listening Plus online course, think of what I was going to say in each photo and record it. Voicethread is straightforward and with fantastic possibilities for collaboration. I’ve invited the Webheads and the LWcers, members of online Communities of practice I’m part of to add their voices to my Special Place Voicethread. Let’s see what happens. My idea is to have an open learning object that can be useful for different teaching/learning settings, as well as for the online listening course that I’ll be moderating pretty soon.
I’m pretty excited to see what happens!

    Hello Carla
    This is a great idea. I know Voicethread but I haven’t used it yet. You reminded me of it and I got very interested in it again. I want to see how I could use it with my students, too. Now I am on a narrow band connection but as soon as I get home I want to try to leave a message in your voicethread for your students.
    Thank you for sharing your ideas with us.

    Hi, João. I’ll be eagerly waiting for your reply. There are many ways you can use the tool with your students, and I’m sure you’ll find the best one that suits your group and their interest.

    Great idea Carla – I’ve just added some comments to your presentation on Key West and I had the chance to see the beginning of your project on stereotypes as well. May I participate there , too or is it just for your students?

    I’ve also tried Voicethread with my group of young learners Would you like to see the outcome?

    The first time I saw Voicethread in action was at a presentation at the K12Online 07 a couple of week ago. I’m sure you’ve been “there” online as well. And I fell in tove with the platform, so I created a videocast on it http://english_studio.blogspot.com/2007/10/new-tools-for-online-interaction-v-o-i.html

    I do love having the chance try these new tools with people like you.

    Well done. Congrats on your work / blog. Keep creating fabulous online products.

    All the best (from Argentina)

    Dear Alicia,

    Feel free to participate! It’s an open space! In fact, my students commented that they loved the fact that they could hear other voices around the globe! And some have even been brave enough to add their comments, though this is an optional task.

    So, join us! Invite your students, too. Next week we start the topic on stereotypes.

    Thanks for your wonderful contribution to the voicethread.

    See you around!

    Carla
