voicethread

In simple terms a voice thread is a way for people to talk around videos, pictures etc. It can hold discussions on one page were people can post there own comments, where people can click on people and here there comments. They can type,upload a your own comments through a microphone, web-cam etc. And personally for me I'm not a big fan of the voice thread it seems kind silly to do it over a computer when in class we could do it hands on and i can show them (my students) how to fix it in person or give them a better detail explanation on it instead of over the computer. So if i was going to use a video i would just go and find the DVD for my class and show that to my students instead of using a voice thread then stop it periodically for the students so they could ask questions or so i could explain it better to them

Publisher

I liked all the assignments we did this week. It has been a while since i used publisher but i got the hang of it. I had used it before for my resume and as soon as i started messing with it came back to me. I liked the brochure that was something i never would have thought of for the classroom and i think i will use it when i do become a teacher i think its a great i dead for the parents and students because they both will know about me and have the semesters plan with them so there wont be any confusion. i think i could make lessons plans and notes with publisher and that something i would like to do for my class
