Voice Thread
It can often be challenging for teachers to get students to participate. Some students are overtly eager to participate; however, some students may be shy and don't participate at all. This is where voice thread comes into action.
Voice thread increases classroom engagement through an online based platform that allows every student to contribute whether it be through a presentation, image or other form of media. Voice thread is essentially like any other social media platform; however, it is tailored towards academics. One of the options with this application is that it allows students to create their own voice thread and create a collaborative environment that provides an equitable platform which allows each student to participate and contribute.
The best thing about the voice thread is that it is multi-faceted, meaning that it allows students to participate in which ever fashion that they desire, such as by typing a response, using audio or recording a video. This app caters to all students, whether they are strong orally or have strong written skills. Voice thread is also beneficial for teachers because it has built in analytics that lets teacher's moderate student engagement which can also be used for assessment.
