VoiceThread

﻿As I mentioned on the home page, I have become enthralled with VoiceThread. It certainly fosters collaboration and creativity. Instead of handing in your everyday posters with text explaining the images, it allows students to give their images their own voices and provides them with a way to share with others.

VoiceThread was relatively easy to master. I've included here the metamorphosis of my VoiceThread about Harriman State Park. Through the use of Picnik, I was able to "enhance" a photo that I took while hiking in Harriman and make it a bit clearer and crisper. The voice recording, however, is a different story.

Here is my original VoiceThread (pre-revision) complete with my droning nasal voice:

Isn't that beautiful? Didn't my annoying voice ruin it?

Luckily, my group member, Michelle, offered some helpful advice. The revised VoiceThread includes more information and less droning. Please note that I added a "test comment" at the end for the purposes of seeing how VoiceThread works.

Fantastic! So much better!
