Web 2.0 Tool. Voice thread
By Carolina Duque.
Web 2.0
Tool: I chose voice
thread, this tool
helps both teachers and students to share information and knowledge; it also
helps the students to develop speaking skills, writing skills, as well as
creativeness and technology skills.
I think is very good that the students and teachers
can have access to the material at any time, not only at school, so we as
teacher can evaluated their work at any time or place.
The idea the students should have to register, helps
to control who is doing what, so we can have a control on who is visiting the
presentation. I like the easy access to the presentation so they can add ideas
to the presentation expressing their opinion. As online student teachers we can make use of this tool to
our on educational needs and purposes.
Voiced
thread is an updated tool that will
motivate students to access the information using technology, something that is
very common and familiar to them.
