Comments on: VoiceThread as an Assessment Tool http://vvrotny.org/2010/01/14/voicethread-as-an-assessment-tool/ Thoughts and Reflections from Vinnie Vrotny Sat, 22 Oct 2011 15:53:18 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.2.1 By: Michael Britt http://vvrotny.org/2010/01/14/voicethread-as-an-assessment-tool/comment-page-1/#comment-703 Michael Britt Wed, 20 Jan 2010 22:23:42 +0000 http://vvrotny.edublogs.org/?p=431#comment-703 I agree that this is an excellent use of Voicethread which I think is a great tool. Couple of questions though: The blog post title indicates that voicethread was used as an "assessment tool" - how was this done in the example we see above? Did the instructor listen to the students and grade them? Also, one of Voicethread's unique tools is that others can insert voice or text comments into the thread I don't see any comments above. Was this component of Voicethread used? Just curious. Again, good work. Michael I agree that this is an excellent use of Voicethread which I think is a great tool.

Just curious. Again, good work.

Students were only asked to complete one of the questions. They were given the choice to answer whichever one they wanted. Secondly, we have subscribed to VoiceThread's education accounts. This enables us to create an account for each student, which we do from grades 4 - 12. The cost of this subscription is $1 per student, so very cost effective. Students figure out how to upload their images, we don't spend time on that. Call it the "Facebook" Effect. Cara,

This is the most effective use of VoiceThread I've seen to date. I have some questions about the execution of the project. I'm wondering how teachers and multiple students were able to upload their own images to the VoiceThread. Did they share a login or submit photos ahead of time? Were students required to respond to just one of the eleven EQ's? Anyway, thanks for sharing. Excellent. Wow, I’m impressed. This is the most effective use of VoiceThread I’ve seen to date.
