I'm feeling a little overwhelmed with all of this new information! There are so many ways Voice Thread can be used. I like the idea of making it a collaborative piece for students. For example, I could show a diagram of the water cycle and ask students to describe one part of it. This is a good way to get in those listening and speaking ELPS that help not only the ELLS, but all students. Groups of students from different could also collaborate on a science investigation or share ideas on what they have been learning in their classroom.
I think the possibilities for staff development using this tool are endless. Does anyone know if Mesquite ISD offers an online workshop that uses Voice Thread as a tool? Maybe the science department will be the first!
