In Voice Thread I uploaded the documentation for my Personal Finance's semester final project. I have recorded my voice in other formats, but not in Voice Thread. Each time I share a link that has my voice on it my students (high school students) say it freaks them out to hear my voice outside of the classroom.
I shared with my Personal Finance team members as well. Unfortunately, I did not get a written response from them. The end of the semester is very busy. One member of our team is not very technologically driven and honestly, she may not have opened the link to listen. The other team member is also one of our coaches for the after school sports departments. He often calls me to ask what was emailed to him from me or the rest of the CTE team. In his case, it is a time constraint more than not wanting to use technology.
In the future for any assignment that I need to or want to receive honest feedback from, I will start sharing with friends and family. I do have friends that are teachers in other districts and coincidentally I have two friends, a married couple, that are both following the same curriculum path as I am, but at a local St. Louis area university. They just started their program this past September.
I envision using Voice Thread or a technology like it, to keep my students engaged in projects. I am already imagining some assignments and communications to start off with, "Your mission class A3 is to......." A Mission Impossible theme.
Students are so tired of lessons that are sterile and scripted, and so do teachers. I can envision a lot of interesting lessons in the future.
