Students Tutorials


As a future Educator, I'm focusing my teaching on students with exceptionality.  Voice Thread, is a learning tool for enhancing and engage students in creating, sharing on images, Microsoft PowerPoint, video, audio, files, documents, using a microphone, webcam. Voice Thread,  can provide skills on Literacy to students improving their fluency, to think about the story, main idea. Voice Thread can take reading to the next level; I can see the students narrates the story making different voices for each character on the story, this can be a workgroup or personal while having fun the student's fluency can improve. 
Exceptional children can benefit from this tool as well, not just only on reading fluency; they can use Voice Thread for group discussions and share it with the group or the classroom. Math instructions, the students or teacher, can videotape any type of directions and they can go back to the videos.  It gives a lot of room to students, parents, and teachers to become successful in the learning and instructions can become clear for some students that may need Voice Thread were the teacher can create a voice thread step by step directions for students that may need allowing the teacher is meeting the need of each student.
