Voice Thread

My students used voice thread today to record their responses to Dr. King’s “I Have a Dream” speech. Some were nervous, others excited, but all did a great job. I enjoy hearing their expression as they speak, rather than only reading their writing. I also enjoyed being able to share it with my husband at home. I hope to use it more next year and make it accessible to parents. I would like to think about and discuss possibilities for using it as an assessment tool. I guess I would create a rubric that outlined what information they would need to include in their recording. I would also like to use it as a way of publishing work, such as including their illustration as they read a poem they wrote and read.
