Week 7

This week (2/14/12) in EDCT 203, we learned about and practiced using the free Online program, VoiceThread. For this week's assignment, we worked collaboratively with several classmates with the same educational concentrations to make a virtual introductory lesson for our future students. As Language Arts majors, my group chose to teach an introduction to homonyms lessons through voice, video, and text comments within our video. This was a fun project, and I enjoyed working collaboratively with other students on a project within class. This week's assignment has been one of my favorites thus far because of the simplistic novelty of the program's features. VoiceThread could be easily utilized in my future classroom if virtual class would occasionally be necessary as well as for students to use on group projects. As a student, I met the following ISTE Standards: Communication and Collaboration, Creativity and Innovation, Digital Citizenship, and Critical Thinking etc. As a future educator, I met the following standards: Professional Growth, Digital Citizenship, Digital Age Work, and Digital Age Learning etc. I truly enjoyed this week's assignment, and look forward to the rest of our projects this quarter in EDCT 203.
