VoiceThread’s Digital Library on Teachers Teaching Teachers - Wednesday
The VoiceThread guys, Steve Muth and Ben Papell will be checking in with us this week.We asked them to join us to learn more about their (relatively) new Digital Library:The Digital Library is a database of articles about successful VoiceThread projects. Our hope is to create a resource that offers guidance and inspiration for people undertaking new projects. Please contribute a VoiceThread to help the Digital Library grow.
If you use VoiceThread, and have been thinking about how to introduce this tool to your colleagues, please plan to join us! We’d love to hear what you’ve been up to, what you’re planning, and how you might become a contributor to the VoiceThread Digital Library. In addition Gail Desler and Halerin Ferrier will be joining us. Gail and Halerin are behind the amazing Letters from the Internment Camps Thread, https://voicethread.com/library/23/ Here’s a short and well produced video about it http://bit.ly/N7Hwu
Steve Muth comments on this project:
Join us to learn more about VoiceThread and to get inspired by seeing what other educators are doing with VoiceThread. One of the exciting things about VoiceThread is that it has always been a community of educators working with the VoiceThread team. We suspect you’ll learn something new about VoiceThread on this show.Please plan to browse on over to http://EdTechTalk.com/live at 9:00pm Eastern / 6:00pm Pacific USA Wednesdays / 01:00 UTC Thursdays World TimesThere are many great examples in our library but this project is just a standout example. Using multiple technologies, including paint on paper, it brings together elements of historical research, ethics, art, self-reflection, writing, speaking, and collaboration, all together into one VoiceThread. The result is pretty amazing and it’s the kind of project we’d like to see become part of the core curriculum everywhere.
