This July, Paul Allison and Julie Conason fascilated a 3-week Writing Project Institute for teachers where we used VoiceThread as the focus of one of our weeks together. In the middle of our work with teachers, we invited Steve Muth, co-founder of VoiceThread, and Colette Cassinelli, a technology teacher near Portland, Oregon who started a wiki that collects examples of VoiceThreads. What will you find on Collette's VoiceThread4Education? Samples submitted by teachers of VoiceThread projects made by their students VoiceThreads used in professional development Resources, including other websites that contain VoiceThread examples Best Practices - tips and ideas of how to best implement VoiceThread in your curriculum Subject area ideas This is your wiki, Colette writes: Please feel free to add any ideas, examples or resources to the site and provide appropriate link attribution. If you are not sure how to embed your VoiceThread projects in wikispaces - follow the directions below. In addition: Paul and Julie invite you to take a look at the Narrative Discussions from our Institute, linked below. We would love your comments on these.

A video about VoiceThread and its use. Author: UPSiTech Keywords: voicethread UPS itech voice software Added: June 19, 2008

Join Matt Montagne, Ben Papelle, Susan Ettenheim, Paul Allison, Chris Sloan, Bill O'Neal, and Hannah Feldman in a reflective conversation about where we have come this year, and where we want to go next year. We especially look at how to move beyond our initial infatuation with VoiceThread to a more long-lasting relationship that emphasises what VoiceThread probably does best: inspire, generate, and build online conversatons. Here are a couple of VoiceThreads that were made back in February 2008. Many of us used these to prepare our students for the Many Voices for Darfur project that George Mayo and Wendy Dexler organized in the first week of March 2008. I present this pair of VoiceThreads as an example. By comparing the presentation that I, Paul Allison, made (top) with the of the kind of collaborative space created by Bill Ferriter (Darth Tater) and his 6th Graders in North Carolina (bottom), we can begin to understand the constructive critique that we build up to on this podcast.

This is a jam-packed thirty-nine minutes, where we explore the power of tagging, teachers using tumblogs, mathcasts, VoiceThreads in health, speech, history, math, music, technology, and EFL classes. Join Paul Allison, Lee Baber, Susan Ettenheim, and VoiceThread's Ben Papell (Yes, he's a regular by now), as they welcome these fresh voices, fresh at least to us at Teachers Teaching Teachers: Carla Raguseo, an EFL teacher and Computer Lab coordinator at A.R.I.C.A.N.A., a Binational Center in Rosario, Argentina Carla Arena, a Brazilian EFL teacher, teacher trainer and site content manager at A Binational Center in Brasilia, but she's on a leave right now. Jeremy Brown, a Special Education Teacher at the Medow Hall Elementary School in Montgomery County, Maryland Judi Epcke, a teacher and Technology Integration Specialist in Northbrook, Illinois Tim Fahlberg, founder of Mathcasts, after 11 years as a math teacher. Carla Raguseo and Carla Arena talk to us about their 6-week class with the Electronic Village Online, Blogging for Educators: How can teachers spice up their classes, raise students' interest in various topics and get them to express their thoughts freely? How can they engage students in interactions with each other as a group? This six-week online workshop aims to introduce participants to different ways in which blogging can be integrated teaching. It will provide hands-on opportunities for educators who are new to blogging to set up and develop their own blogs, as well as to explore the worlds of possibilities provided by different kinds of blogs. By the end of the workshop, participants will have experimented with creating and enhancing blogs, posting and editing entries, inviting members to their blogs, and commenting on one anothers' blogs - using either Blogger or Wordpress platforms. Participants will also have explored blog comment management, template personalization, tagging (labeling) and really simple syndication (RSS). blogging4educators wiki Jeremy Brown and Judi Epcke describe their adventures with tumbl'n teachers. Who are tumbl'n teachers? (from a twitter conversation) * J. Epcke: How would you describe our tumblr group to other teachers? * J. Brown: tumbl'n teachers is like a digital bulletin board, where educators interested in the use of technology in the classroom can post resources as well as ideas or examples of how they integrate technology. * J. Epcke: How did the group start? * J. Brown: I discovered tumblr through my del.icio.us network. While exploring the tool, I came across the Groups feature and thought I would try it. So, I created a group and then started inviting other educators on twitter. * J. Epcke: How can someone join? * J. Brown: Anyone can join by either sending an e-mail to techieteacher+tumblr[at]gmail or DT on twitter (techieteacher). tumbl'n teachers Tim Fahlberg, discusses his passion for Mathcasts. What's a Mathcast? Good question! Mathca sts are screencasts (screen movies) of writing with voice that focus on mathematics. It’s easier to understand what mathcasts are all about if you experience one or more of them: Here’s a mathcast by Colleen King, math teacher and creator of Math Playground?. It’s part of the K-7 Mathcasts 500 Project (500+ mathcasts for Kindergarten - 7th grade math) on our Math247 wiki. Math247 Chat Log read more

Listen to Scott Floyd, Tech Liaison for the Texas Bluebonnet Writing Project, and Ellen Petry Leanse explain how and why they collaborated on a project that resulted in this VoiceThread, as well as other media versions of the same story. Scott writes on his blog: Ellen Petry Leanse has a powerful story to tell of her escape from the political unrest in Kenya during the presidential elections over the 2007 Christmas holidays. She and her 12 year old son were there volunteering in an orphanage as well as other humanitarian work. I first encountered her story January 15th on Guy Kawasaki’s blog as a guest post. Her writing moved me. Something inside of me kept saying to contact her and help her share what she and her son went through. As Google would have it, her email came up in the first try, and by 8:11 AM I sent off a personal plea to her to share her narrative through digital storytelling. A Piece of My Mind - my ideas, thoughts, experiences, and lessons learned in education The founders of VoiceThread, Ben Papell and Steve Muth, also join us in this discussion of the lessons that can be learned from this one example of digital storytelling.

This podcast is a recording of my final session at the Learning 2.0 conference in Shanghai, China, on September 16, 2007. The title of my session was Global Voices: Distributed Learning Projects With Interactive Podcasting and VOIP Tools. The description of this session in the conference program was: Amazing new voice technologies are enabling classrooms to connect across distances and engage in collaborative projects using both synchronous and asychronous voice interactions such as interactive podcasting, Skype or Google Talk. This session presents examples of successful interactive podcasting and voice over IP (VOIP) classroom exchange projects, as well as discusses reasons why campus administrators and district leaders should encourage these types of collaborative projects to develop student literacy skills as well as content area knowledge.
