Hello Bloggers!!
Watch this everyone! Then read on!
From VoiceThread.com
VoiceThread is a great site to help encourage and facilitate indepth discussions about topics, videos, pictures and other things. This e-Learning tool is great for recording dicussions and ideas students come up with during their learning journey. Facilitating discussions in the classroom is an excellent way to encourage higher order thinking (Marzano and Pickering, 1997). Students learn and discuss deeper understandings of the topics then simply listening to the teacher talk about the topic. This site provides great opportunities for students to be imersed in the learning of a lesson through debate and discussion.
I think this is a great learning tool for the classroom and I am looking forward to finding a way to incorporate this tool into my classroom learning.
