Tracking Student Learning with VoiceThread

$138 CSD member; $214 non-member

(One Grad. Credit Available)

A VoiceThread is a free, online, collaborative, multimedia slide show that holds images, documents, and videos and allows people to leave comments in 4 ways - using voice, text, audio file, or video. VoiceThread can be used for assessment, foreign language, field trips, art, language arts, social studies, math and science. In the VoiceThread environment, students and teachers can safely share their voices on the global stage. In this class, participants will create a project using photos and audio commenting using VoiceThread to document student learning across several content areas. Learn how this multi-media free resource can be used in your classroom!

A picture is worth a thousand words, so they say. Find out how to use this powerful tool in the classroom. In this class, teachers will learn about the basics of using digital cameras and photography in the classroom. Come learn the parts of the camera, its basic operation, and possible activities that you can use with your students. Find out what can be done with digital images—how they can be enhanced, manipulated, and changed using basic photo editing software. Gain information about how to integrate images into lesson plans and classroom activities. Participants will be encouraged to develop a lesson that incorporates the use of digital images.

Come learn how to use this free, Web 2.0 tool to create quick websites that contain everything you are dreaming of. In no time at all, you will have a robust website that you will be proud of and others will be impressed with. Learn the benefits of using wikis and see several examples of how they are being used in education. Participants will create their own wikis using pbwiki (a free Internet-based service) and learn basics such as setting one up, adding pages, inserting links, uploading files, inserting images and adding tables.
