VoiceThread for Teaching Language




      Voice Thread can be widely used in a language class. It can serve as a audible discussion board for students to communicate, and also can be an online classroom where teacher can post their lecture notes on it and teach according to notes.
       I choose Flora and Celia's product of Voice Thread as example, I think they are well made.  They both have clear clues of the content, so students can easily figure out what the points are in the class. Flora's class focuses on student's self-introduction, and Celia's focuses on introduction to the bilingual phenomenon in Quebec. Moreover, they both provide clear introductions to students about how to use Voice Thread. They show it step by step, therefore students can successfully handle it according to their instructions. Another thing is their voices are sweet, students will love to listen to them. That is why I choose them as examples.
