Voice Thread

     Before this assignment I had not had any experiences with voice thread. After my first experience with voice thread I would not try and use this in my classroom. I do think that voice thread offers some great qualities for students, but I do not think it is very user friendly especially if you have younger students. I believe this form of technology is a great tool for students that may be absent or needing extra information on a topic. As a teacher I could post the power points, lessons, worksheets, etc. on the voice thread so students could have access from home. However, at this point and time I do not feel comfortable using or posting on this source. 

    Each time that I tried to post a voice thread to my picture it only allowed me to listen to my recording once. I could not play back my voice, nor could I get the voice to upload. If my voice thread was uploaded, I was not able to hear or see where it was uploaded to. It was very easy to upload pictures and to find the recording settings, but I could not revisit my recording after it played through. I watched tutorial videos and still was not able to find where my voice recording was located. I feel that if I had this much trouble uploading the information then I could not imagine requiring my students to try and find out how to manipulate through to find assignments, etc. 

    I would really like to learn more on how to operate this website. It would be a great tool for students to use during class and from home. As their teacher I could use this during class to show them where their homework would be located which would help avoid students leaving the worksheets at school or home, or post lessons for students that may be absent. I see a lot of potential for this source, but I would need much more guidance and instruction on how to maneuver through it.
