Web 2.0 Screencast

During the past two weeks of class, we have been searching for Web 2.0 tools to use in our classroom. The Web 2.0 tool I found to be most amazing is VoiceThread. VoiceThread is a collaborative application that can be used in several different ways including:

• Online Presentations
• Sharing pictures
• Conversations about literature

Since I am an English teacher, I would like to share how you can create a literature circle using VoiceThread. Watch the following video to see how to create a conversation about Tuck Everlasting.

• VoiceThread - Create

Now that you have seen how to create a VoiceThread, here is how to participate.

• VoiceThread - Participate

This application is free to use on a limited basis, but can be purchased as well. Ed.voicethread.com requires proof of being a teacher as well as a small fee. Ed.VoiceThread ensures appropriate comments and allows teachers and classes to collaboarate.
