NWEH Week 20 Blog: Voice Thread Project

Complete your VoiceThread project (http://voicethread.com) - DUE SUNDAY MIDNIGHT (1/15).  Instructions are posted below and under Forms and Docs on our class website.  You'll see them in the Multimedia Project folder for the Second Quarter. For this week's blog response you'll have to do four things things:

a.) post the link to your VoiceThread discussion in the comment's section below
b.) list the question you're posing in the VoiceThread in the comment's section below
c.) describe what you liked/didn't like about using VoiceThread to generate a discussion in the comment's section below
d.) send your VoiceThread link to me via email with your name and class period listed in the subject line

Here's my VoiceThread link for you to study as a model:




Here's the assignment guidelines and rubric:

1.     First, you will sign in to your VoiceThread account (http://voicethread.com/) to create a virtual dialogue about a theme from the unit connected to Tattoos on the Heart and/or A Good Man is Hard to Find. If you forgot your username and password, use the link to reactivate it or create a new one.  I recommend that you explore the theme of compassion towards the enemy/victimizer.  You need to include 2-5 pictures and a question that you pose. Both of these items should be related to your theme. In your question, try to discuss ideas/themes/events from Tattoos on the Heart and A Good Man is Hard to Find. I recommend that you use the microphone to complete your VoiceThread, but you can also pose the discussion question in writing. Share you link with me via email, and also share it with someone from the class who you want to have a discussion with. You’ll actually be required to post your VoiceThread link to this week’s Blog.  You may also want to share your thread with students from outside the class as well.

    2. Question 1: Would you try to help someone get out of a gang even if he killed people and commited mutiple crimes?
    Question 2: Would you feel sad for a kid that gets arrested or killed in the streets after he was doing things with a gang he had no bussiness doing?

    3. I liked voicethread even though I couldnt use a microphone or webcam to do it. It let me tell how I felt about things that we went over in class and to see how my classmates felt.
