Ensure that you use the graphic organizer to maintain organization. Keep in mind the class resources available for editing and revision. media type="custom" key="29439237" This project has proven to be interesting to say the least. I have enjoyed the experience and believed it will prove to be a useful tool. Voice thread can be used in class presentations as well as a media project idea. Gives students options to tie makes and Youtube clips to lessons. In my aspiration of being a Math instructor there are movies and television shows that demonstrate and illustrate math being used in everyday life. It would awesome to place those segment into a lecture or introduction to a new unit. The idea of embedding various frames or creating an entire lesson via voice thread makes the possibilities endless. Should I, as a teacher, need to be away from my class the lesson may continue as planned. I can record the lesson prior to being out. As well as lesson may be recorded and placed on Google classroom for reference material.
