Workshop introduction

[|Trends: VoiceThread]

Voicethread ([|www.voicethread.com]) is an example of an emerging technology; it is an available tool that is non “essential” to complete certain presentation tasks. While in some communities of practice Voicethread could be said to have emerged (Thornburg, 2009), in many academic circles it may still be a newcomer. click to continue reading...

Authentic assessment activity description:

To create an introduction announcement and an “icebreaker” discussion post for your class that asks students to do three things: 1. introduce themselves 2. troubleshoot some aspect of instruction that could be improved and 3. comment on the faculty’s reply post and two other student’s post. Student recommendations for improvement could address the use of instructional tools, faculty training, student coaching and learning readiness, instructional settings (online, hybrid or face-to-face), social networking, etc.

Sample introduction: Hello students, my name is Prof. Salas, and I am looking forward to our semester together. As you click through, follow my instructions on how to create your own VoiceThread to share with the class. Be creative and have fun!

Sample questions: What instructional tools can engage learners? What kind of feedback is useful to students? How can faculty better communicate with students? How can technology enhance classroom communication and student-to-student as well as student-to-faculty communication?

After introducing yourself, and developing your icebreaker question, next you will present it using the multimedia tool I have introduced and post it on our workshop wiki. Lastly, to practice interacting with students using VoiceThread, you will reply to two other workshop participants.
