ACTIVITY 1 Let’s introduce us a little bit more 1.3.- Giving voice to our photos about personal information, daily life and hobbies (likes-dislikes) You need to choose 3 photos minimum to explain your composition. You can choose one photo for the personal information and then record your voice reading your personal information or improvising a little bit. Next, you choose another photo to talk about daily life and another photo to talk about your hobbies. You can see mine as example: http://boundlesscommunication.blogspot.com/2009/10/example-of-activity-13.html Material needed A MICROPHONE VOICE THREAD TUTORIAL VoiceThread is an online application that allows you to create and comment on multimedia presentations using voice, video and/or images. There is a version of this application designed specifically for educators. Log onto voice thread. http://voicethread.com/#home You need to register first. Click here!!!
Take a glimpse at the main tool bar. Creating a voice thread truly is as easy as 1, 2, 3.
Step 1 Uploading your images. You will need to know the LOCATION (where the images are on your computer) for your pictures. I usually save mine to my desktop (for uploading from my computer.) Please do not upload any images which are NOT yours without giving proper citation for use.
Step Two Adding your comments Can be either audio or text!! Click on COMMENT (centred underneath the main window) Choose RECORD if you have your microphone hooked up. Choose TYPE if you wish to add text. When you click on TYPE, a small window will pop up and allow you to add text, you can also choose the colour of the text. Click on SAVE when you are done. If you make a mistake, you can click on the garbage can to delete it. If you click on record, your computer will search for the microphone. If it does NOT find it, you will not be able to record.
Step Three Sharing Once you have finished. And you think your presentation is ready.
DEADLINE: TUESDAY 27th OCTOBER 2009. Your teacher will check your webpage and she will give a mark to your presentation.
