VOICETHREAD


Hello everyone! This week, we used a new presentation tool called Voicethread. It was very interesting in that there are a lot of different uses and tools involved in the program.

Voicethread
Voice thread is a very useful tool in that you can use it for presentations as well as an interactive tool. It is an easy no downloading required tool that includes multiple features where you can create a presentation, document, images and videos. One interesting tool that is very specific about this website is the ability to comment on slides using many different options. You can use microphone, webcam, text, phone or you can upload a file to comment. Sometimes it is easier to get your thoughts out through voice and that is why using the microphone or webcam tool can be very useful. It is easier to keep thoughts flowing when you can speak it out instead of typing.

This could be used academically as a source for sharing documents to everyone in a class for open discussion. It could be used as a forum-based program for anyone that wants to comment their ideas and opinions. It can also be used as a presentation tool as you can create a slideshow presentation. You can also use it to discuss certain issues for planning. It could be used as a tool to come to a decision with a group of people in the workplace or in a classroom setting as everyone is able to leave their responses. Voice thread is similar to Google Docs in that it can be used as a collaborative presentation tool. What makes this tool stand out compared to Google Docs is that learning can be presented in multimedia forms which often makes it easier to learn.

In the future, I can use voice thread in the workplace, in an educational setting and for social purposes as it has many different features for all uses.

Here is an example of a voice thread that you can check out based on what our digital rights and responsibilities are.
