VoiceThread
The lesson was fun and worked well. The VoiceThread shows a small portion of what we did during the lesson. We had so much to the lesson and I think it would have made it more of a challenge to incorporate it into the VoiceThread. I think the VoiceThread helped us focus on the key objective the students needed to learn. It was a great way to asses their understanding. The students really enjoyed working on the VoiceThread. They were excited to hear themselves after recording comments and doodling and enjoyed watching the final product. The VoiceThread was also a great review when watched later in the week.
Looking back at my VoiceThread, there were a couple of things I could have done to make it a more effective tool. Going through the comments, I saw that I used the fading doodling tool. I should have used to non-fading tool to make the doodling comments last longer on the slides and easier to read. The third and fourth slides were a concern for me. On the third slide, I had the students determine if a number was greater than or less than another number. I had the sign already in place. I should have just had the numbers on the slide, so the students could write the symbol which is what I was looking to assess. On the fourth slide, I had the students create problems for each other. I wanted the students to write the numbers of their problems on the slide with the doodling and have another student come up and determine which was greater or less than. However, this did not work well because I used the fading doodling, which did not allow the the numbers to stay up long enough for the students coming up. The students also answered verbally instead of using the doodling to write the symbol.
Ok, fellow PSTs, I'm looking forward to hearing what you think of my VoiceThread!
Are there things you noticed that you would change or think should have been done differently?
Is there anything you saw that caught your attention? If so, what was it?
