Thing # 19 - Voicethreads

This may be the answer to the oral test issue I discussed in the earlier blog on Podcasts. The Voicethread allows sound and was easy to stop, start, rewind. Wait, not rewind, but click to go forward and backward to different pages of the presentation. (I am showing my age, and what's even worse, I am not sure I remember what electronic device we used to rewind!) This would allow us to give tests on the computer, meet a multitude of different learning styles, and give our students who have difficulty reading the best chance of taking a test that would normally be just text on paper. It solves the problem of not having enough people to read six weeks tests on several subjects to several students at one time. And, it allows students to move through the test at an individualized pace. Now, if I can just round up what I need to make the recording and get the visuals together we will be set to use this technology. I will definitely be using this technology in the school year coming up.
