The voice thread activity was so much fun! The students were excited about being part of the voice thread, and they enjoyed viewing the finished product. I think the part of the voice thread that worked particularly well was the video comment that each group made. The students were thrilled to be videotaped, and they worked diligently to ensure that what they planned to say on camera was perfect. The students prepared their responses before translating them to the voice thread, so we eliminated the need for any "redos." The only thing I would do differently next time is to introduce the voice thread technology to the class before the lesson. I would have liked the students to be comfortable with the technology so that I wouldn't have had to spend so much time at the computer. Once students become comfortable with the technology, it will be an excellent tool to integrate into the curriculum.
