I have students who are so timid that they are willing to forego a grade on an oral activity. With this component, they can still participate without the stress.

Using VoiceThread as an asynchronous multimedia discussion with sixth graders with great results and conversations from students.
-
In his inaugural attempt using the application, Ferriter posted VoiceThreads about a variety of topics online, encouraging students to comment on them voluntarily on their own time. He got dozens -- even hundreds -- of comments on each. It was a revelation. "I can basically extend my classroom," he says.
-
Ferriter says more students participate more actively in digital discussions than in the classroom. "You don't have to be the loud one or the popular one," he points out. When he asked his students about their online involvement, he said they cited the sense of safety: "They can think about their comments beforehand." They also liked the fact that any VoiceThread has multiple conversations going on at once. "In a classroom conversation, there's generally one strand of conversation going at any one time, and if you're bored by that particular strand, you're completely disengaged," says Ferriter.

"I mean if we went to Darfur to try and stop the genocide wouldn't the Janjaweed think we want to go to war. then our troops would have to leave Iraq and go to Darfur," responded another, "but more importantly haven't enough people died in the genocide we really don't need anymore people to die."

Reminds me of the country song where the guy changes his whole identity when he "fires up his mac ..... says he's 6ft. 2 and looks darn good". Everyone gains a little convidence once they're online and don't mind speaking up/out.

It seems much easier to participate in discussions online - this may be one instance when f2f doesn't benefit us.

I agree. I myself find it easier to join in when I do not feel put on the spot. It's like having a small group of just you and the computer.

Interesting point - so learners engaged with a VT may make entirely different connections than other learners so the multiple conversations let them consider the presentation from different points of view

This is definitely one of the real strengths of online conversations: Participants aren't trapped into strands of conversation that are unmotivating to them. You can self-select the threads of conversation that are engaging to you and spend your time monitoring and responding to that thread. Is this an aspect of digital learning that appeals to you? Why?

Bill Ferriter knew his sixth-grade language arts and social studies students
spent time online outside of class, surfing the Web and instant messaging. So
when he discovered he could engage his kids online in a collaborative,
multimedia slide show called a VoiceThread, he decided to see
if he could use it to, as he puts it, "steal some of their online minutes."

o when he discovered he could engage his kids online in a collaborative, multimedia slide show called a VoiceThread, he decided to see if he could use it to, as he puts it, "steal some of their online minutes."
"The answer was a resounding yes," says the teacher at Salem Middle School, in Salem, North Carolina. -
Ferriter introduced VoiceThreads with lessons on how to comment effectively and thoughtfully, emphasizing what he calls "collaborative conversation."

VoiceThreads might best be described as interactive media albums.
-
They are essentially online slide shows of images, documents, or videos that enable viewers to comment on any slide (or at any point in the video) by typing, recording an audio or video comment, or drawing on the image itself.
