VoiceThread

= = = = =Description=

We were assigned to select a Web 2.0 technology from a list produced by the instructor. Once we have chosen the technology of our choice we were to research it and learn how to use. To create a presentation of the technology we were to use the application VoiceThread. The overall purpose of this activity was to provide the learner with a brief history and and process for using the technology that we chose. In addition to learning how to access and properly use the emerging trend, the viewer is able to collaborate by leaving voice comments.

=Selection of Web 2.0=

I browsed the list and checked out many of the choices available, my first choice was Jing/Screencast. Because I have used the Jing application in a previous course, I decided to choose a technology that was unfamiliar to me. Ultimately, I chose an online web/graphic organizer called Webspiration. I stuck with this choice because it was something new for me and I have trouble keeping notes/thoughts organized and neat

=Reflection=

Because of my poor organizational skills, I was excited to learn about the Web 2.0 technology that I chose. It was very easy to figure out and navigate through which is great for younger users. I love learning about new applications in the technology world and Webspiration is a great program to add to my list of technological tools to implement in the classroom.

The Webspiration VoiceThread was designed and created for the user to be able to navigate easily and knowledgeably through the Webspiration program to design a graphic organizer that accomplish the task of keeping thoughts and assignments organized neatly. The user will register for the online program and decided what needs to be accomplished through creating the web/graphic organizer. Webspiration could be used for independent work or for group and/or collaborative projects. To view my Webspiration voicethread >
