We enjoyed the alternative way of presenting information. Students could re-access the responses from VoiceThread. They could add new information as they found it. We also liked the fact that EVERY student had to produce a response unlike a typical classroom discussion of volunteers.

Science Classroom: use voice thread to show mastery of concepts as opposed to written assessments

Math Classroom: students can work out a problem and use their voices to explain.

We liked that every student had to produce a response as well, but they were not able to (at the time) hear what others said so that ensured that they could not record someone else's response. It was their own thoughts.

Group 5: Comments: Science classroom: use to create student engagement and responsiblity for learning; increase "rigor" in the classroom with student driven learning

I would have student use their cell phones since we do not have access to headphones/microphones; voicethread would be neat to use, but not all computers work, too many students in a classroom (you could partner students up in groups rather than individual, this would be a part of differentiation

Depends on cost - final project creations with similar products

due to limited function of free versions. Can use other programs

which allow to mash mp3 files from AUdio Boom & Vocaroo)

with presentations from PPT, etc to achieve a similar free effect.

Also can be used for verbal assessment - describe what you see, compare/contrast,

explain processes in pic etc.
