The
Article “Using VoiceThread to Promote Learning Engagement and Success for All
Students” provides an overview of the benefits of using VoiceThreads throughout
various subjects and learning levels. Prior to reading the article, I wasn’t knowledgeable
about the software and its benefits. With the various changes on learning
standards and the need for teachers to implement technology as well as keep
students engaged, this program has become quite a benefit within the classroom.
According to the article, “students who are often considered passive learners
can become more actively involved through an ongoing interaction with
instructional content”. From observing within the classroom, many students know
the answers to questions, however, are a bit intimidated to speak in front of
their fellow classmates. VoiceThreads provide students the opportunity to
provide a comment that they may edit and re-record if they are not satisfied. In
addition, providing lesson plans, teachers may also request students to create
their own presentation and create an engaging dialogue amongst their peers.
I
look forward to utilizing this software with my students in the future, there
are many benefits for students and teaching a class with students of various
learning levels. You may adjust expectations and lesson plans for students
without their fellow classmates having access.
