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.
