Video Thread

I decided to my Voice Thread on fishing. Its something everyone looks forward to each summer. Our family helps each other with subsistence activies. This is one of the many things we do together as a family.
I had fun with this project. I just wish I had more pictures in my laptop that would be good stories for a voice thread project. I wish I had more fish cutting pictures on my laptop to add to this voice thread so I can show everyone what we do with the fish heads.
I like how we can tell a story with the pictures and how others can also comment on our voicethreads.
Voice thread is a good tool to use in a classroom. I think it would be good to start students young since technology is getting to children as young as kindergarten. Like in a Kindergarten classroom a teacher can work on the project with the students and a couple students can make a comment on a picture to make a class voice thread project.
It would be good for students fourth grade and older.
This would be a very good tool for students in a Rural Alaska to learn to use. Not everyone has internet connection in the villages. Most people that have internet access have dial up connection and the server is usually very slow. The internet connection shouldn’t be too bad in the schools though.
I can’t wait to share all these free different programs to students and others.
