#ntbootcamp: Voicethread part 2

I was reading through this presentation about uses of voicethread and I found some interested that I wanted to share. Here is the original presentation for you to view.


  1. Mystery Game: If you have ever played the Yes-No game or something similar, the students can be presented with an image and comments highlighting certain yeses and nos and they can comment back describing what they think the theme is (e.g. regular polygon yes-no game, or other mathematical themes)
  2. Ice-breaker: Students can use it as a "My favorite.." or other introduction tool and can comment on each other.
  3. Collaborative Projects: When students work together to make a presentation, they can use Voicethread to make the presentation (e.g. the syllogism project in geometry).
  4. Describing a problem: Using Polya's problem solving process or just explaining a topic in mathematics.
  5. Interpreting Graphs: Students can post comments and draw directly on a graph to show which part they are talking about. Allows students to collaborate to come to a better understanding.

I've changed the ideas a little more to be specific to my experience in the classroom and how exactly I would use voicethread so far. I look forward to learning more!
