After reading "Using VoiceThread to Promote Learning Engagement and Success for All Students", I do praise the accommodation that more and more platforms could provide. Also through this article, I believe if the diverse students don't meet the academic standards, most of them are at risk of failure or as having a disability. In the past, these conclusions easily became an evidence for teachers or schools to give up their learning, but now with technological assistance, teachers may not work alone and have a 24/7 partner to co-teach.
I like the idea that the VoiceThread would like to help students developing independent learning strategy by increasing their engagement and motivation. I do appreciate some features they have, e.g. without the validation of e-mail address and function of "moderate comments". Plus "doodle", students can access and engage more easily. Not surprisingly, this platform also accommodates students learning pace. On the other hand, teachers can design multimodalities content for catering to learners' need visually or auditorily.
Hopefully, I can apply it to my future students by generating student-centered lesson plans and enhancing the quality of learning experience.

Your comment, teachers will have a co-teacher 24/7, is so true with voice thread. I think its great that students can access voice thread from any device. This feature would also be beneficial for students who are home sick. They can log on and access their assignments.
ReplyDeleteI can see you creatively apply VT to enhance 1st and 2nd learning learning. The interactive features help teachers' scaffolding instruction. :D
