  13. What do you do with Voicethread? • Post documents (Word, PDF), videos, PowerPoints, images, etc • Student create/comment on own piece of project then comment on another group’s piece of a project • Cross curricular collaboration • Interstate collaboration • World wide collaboration!

  14. 1. Have students sign a Voicethread Do and Don’t worksheet 2. Have students register with VoiceThread. They will need an email account (Gaggle for in-school use) 3. They will create an avatar (icon) just like they do in Facebook. 4. You can assign coded numbers to identify students. 5. Create a sandbox/play Voicethread so they can get use to the techniques involved. http://voicethread.com/share/661520/
