VoiceThread Activities
What Can VoiceThread Do?
Many of the activities completed in Canvas Studio can also work for the VoiceThread tool. Commentary appears on a timeline in VoiceThread projects, and it can be an excellent way of enabling asynchronous discussion around media. One distinguishing feature of VoiceThread over Canvas Studio is the ability for students to contribute audio commentary rather than text-based only discussion.
- Audio commentary can be beneficial in language courses, where pronunciation and conjugation are necessary to hear.
- Allow for text or audio/visual commentary on images or music files, rather than just video.
- Add a series of images or video footage and ask students to add "voices" to characters and create a story. This can be great for creative writing, playwriting, or roleplay activities.
