Voice Thread

Kids [most of them] absolutely hate to stand up in front of the class for presentations. I can see someone getting this started and running with it! Little shy Susi would just have to record her voice in the privacy of her home OR type in her text. That is one thought and is just beginning to scratch the surface of all the tools that will soon be available [and old hat] to our student population!
The students would be able to use this when peer teaching – why not solve problems in math and talk or type the answers? I can see this as an across the board tool! Very nice!
There will always be a concern of inappropriateness but I think we could use peer pressure to help curb that. Most students follow the guidelines – and those that don’t would be doing the same thing in some other way without technology!
