VoiceThread

[intertext]

This is to test a new Web 2.0 tool called VoiceThread. For me, it has potential for my online courses, so I thought I'd try it out here. See what you think. You click on the facebox on the side to hear me speak. You can add comments right on it either audio or typed by clicking on the appropriate box; or, of course, you can comment on this post in the usual way, should you feel so inclined. Commenting on the voicethread would be nifty, though, because then I'd see how it works. I suppose you might have to sign up to comment - I don't know.

Comments

I don't have a microphone, so I'm commenting in the boringly usual manner. It strikes me that his has quite a lot of potential - presumably you can have a sequence of pictures with the same voice-over, so you could actually explain and demonstrate as you go along?

What will they think of next?

I'd try to respond but you have to sign in, and then I guess you have to have a microphone. Besides, you have a spiff accent and my crap LA nasality would probably break your speakers.

That was cool, though.

I think it has heaps of potential, particularly as there is the possibility of having multiple identities. I've set up one under my real name and I'm going to try doing some sort of screen casts for how to do wikis and things. I've been trying to do a real screen cast with moving mouse and all, but I tend to get flustered halfway through and miscue things.

I won't make a comment on your voicethread yet. I think you may need to play with your mic settings. Or, it may be that it just has to travel so far to get here, but it's really soft (unless you're naturally softly spoken, unlike some brash, loud aussies I know :D *looks around innocently*).

makes me miss class. I imagine this has great potential, especially for on-line classes, or classes with on-line options.

You could put This Be The Verse on the opening slide! LOL! ;)

Great to hear your voice.
