Assignment Title: Digital Storytelling
Uses in the Classroom:
For this assignment I used VoiceThread in order to create my Digital Story. I think VoiceThread would be great to use in the online course setting. Right now a lot of our online instructors already have power points uploaded into their course pages and I think it would be a much more effective teaching tool to combine those power points with VoiceThread as I did with this project. This way instead of having to go through and read slide after slide in PowerPoint an instructor could embed their VoiceThread into their course page and walk students through the weeks lesson in a much more interactive way.
Issues to Consider:
I really did have a hard time thinking of any issues that might arise while using this. One thing I could think of that would probably be an issue is our instructors might have difficulty making presentations using this technology. I myself had a little difficulty in the beginning, thinking I had to just continually record myself and start over any time I messed up. Of course I eventually figured out you can record slide by slide which definitely helped things. It would be nice if there was a more thorough tutorial on how to use VoiceThread when you first start out.
