Thank goodness it’s Friday, to help brighten up your day and to help you with your planning at weekends, I will be posting a weekly web based idea that will take just 1 minute of your time to read about. If you like what you read then why not try it out in your lessons the following week.
Voicethread http://voicethread.com/
Is basically a digital-storytelling website that allows teachers and students to share their stories through audio, images, videos or text. Others can then comment on these in several ways such as 1) voice with a microphone, 2) or voice with telephone), 3) text, 4) audio file, or 5) video with a webcam. You can share these with everyone around the world or just the people you invite to view them, it is also free to sign up to a single educator account although does have some limitations. There is also a video tutorial on the site on the homepage showing how to use it.
In the famous words of Gary Barlow ‘it only takes a minute…’
