This is included but not limited to documents, presentation, pictures, audio files, and videos. There are 5 different ways you can comment on a VoiceThread. This can be done through microphone, webcam, text, phone, and audio file upload. VideoThreads can also be kept private, shared with specific people, or shared with the entire world!]]> 2021-03-07 18:01:47 UTC https://padlet.com/koenigd2/jfa4bkok9zcn5iez/wish/1279074900 koenigd2 https://padlet.com/koenigd2/jfa4bkok9zcn5iez/wish/1279101626 2021-03-07 18:14:52 UTC https://padlet.com/koenigd2/jfa4bkok9zcn5iez/wish/1279101626 koenigd2 https://padlet.com/koenigd2/jfa4bkok9zcn5iez/wish/1279103244 One of the major strengths of VoiceThread is just how accessible it is. It can be accessed through phone or computer. It can also be shared and accessed with whoever you choose.

Another strength is the amount of media that you can share. If you have any sort of media that you want to share with your students, you can. There is also five different ways that students can comment on the VoiceThreads so there is a good variety of options. 

Another strength is that once the VoiceThread is made, it can be edited at any time. You will also get notified when you get a new comment on your thread. So once I create something and share it with my students, they can comment on it at any time. 

You can create graded assignments on VoiceThread. You can have students create their own VoiceThreads or comment on ones you make for a grade.]]> 2021-03-07 18:15:31 UTC https://padlet.com/koenigd2/jfa4bkok9zcn5iez/wish/1279103244 koenigd2 https://padlet.com/koenigd2/jfa4bkok9zcn5iez/wish/1279113933 The first limitation is that just like SlideShare, you MUST have an account to access and create VoiceThreads. 

Another limitation is that VoiceThread is not just a website. It is a software so it must be downloaded before you are able to use it.

The last limitation is that the comments each have a time limit on how long they can be. Microphone and webcam comments can only be 60 minutes per comment, phone is 10 minutes per comment, audio files are 3 GB each, and text has none. Even though this seems like it should be plenty of time for students, it can still be limiting. ]]> 2021-03-07 18:21:05 UTC https://padlet.com/koenigd2/jfa4bkok9zcn5iez/wish/1279113933 koenigd2 https://padlet.com/koenigd2/jfa4bkok9zcn5iez/wish/1279127532 For my future classroom, I can use this to have my students comment on performance videos. I can post one video of a performance and have them focus on commenting on that or I can upload two and have them compare and contrast the two scenes.

Another way I can use this in my future classroom is buy having scene partners pair up, share the script, and comment their findings on elements such as plot, given circumstances, or character.

I can also have my students upload VoiceThread videos of their performances and have them give each other feedback through the comments.]]> 2021-03-07 18:28:08 UTC https://padlet.com/koenigd2/jfa4bkok9zcn5iez/wish/1279127532 koenigd2 https://padlet.com/koenigd2/jfa4bkok9zcn5iez/wish/1279136483 2021-03-07 18:32:43 UTC https://padlet.com/koenigd2/jfa4bkok9zcn5iez/wish/1279136483 koenigd2 https://padlet.com/koenigd2/jfa4bkok9zcn5iez/wish/1279137862 2021-03-07 18:33:26 UTC https://padlet.com/koenigd2/jfa4bkok9zcn5iez/wish/1279137862 koenigd2 https://padlet.com/koenigd2/jfa4bkok9zcn5iez/wish/1279139321 2021-03-07 18:34:14 UTC https://padlet.com/koenigd2/jfa4bkok9zcn5iez/wish/1279139321
