VoiceThread seems pretty straightforward, but once you browse around a little, you can see how creative people are with it! Of course, some attempts fall flat.
One that doesn't, however, is this social justice poetry slam.
This science project is also worth sharing. As a writing tutor, I'm in love with this tool because, essentially, it's a visual paper. Instead of having each subtopic written in paragraph form, the students research their topic and organize by pictures. Duh! They're much more likely to stick to relevant facts this way. It's so easy to get caught up in writing and include tons of extraneous information that isn't pertinent to the point of the paragraph.
What are some VoiceThreads that you thought were unique?
Ciao!
Using this tool to allow students to organize their writing using visuals is a great idea! One that hadn't yet occurred to me! I would love to do a beginning of the year "what is your goal" Voicethread or maybe "how will you change the world" You could go so many directions with this!!
