Thing #19

I really like the idea of using Voicethread in many ways to support instruction, as well as collaboration. I first learned of Voicethread's existence just yesterday, when I was searching for SLP-related information on YouTube and TeacherTube. I found an example where a student used voicethread to comment about his experiences. So one application for me would be to use Voicethread with my nonverbal students, using augmentative communication devices. Another application for me would be to use it to teach sequencing, like the example with measuring volume for irregular objects. I like the potential for collaboration on projects/work while it is progress. Voicethread can also be used to supplement lecture, differentiating instruction to incorporate all learning styles in a multisensory way. It also seems to be very accessible and flexible with regard to methods of commenting, which is also very inclusive for students with learning differences and disorders.
