VoiceThread

A voicethread is a way of having conversation with someone using media to help explain what they are talking about. People can use this for business ideas and meetings. You can draw while you talk to explain yourself...so if you have to circle items your talking about you can. I don't know if I would want to use VoiceThread in my classroom...it seems like it could be usefull but at the same time it can be complicated or it will be abused.

Publisher

The activities from this week were very interesting to me because I did not know what publisher was really used for. I have never known how to make a resume or even what one would remotely look like but now I have an idea. Now that I have, it will help me make one when I need to. The brochure was fun...I did not know really what to do with that either until I saw an example and then I realized it wasn't as hard as it looked. I think that I overlooked a few things that I needed to add to the brochure and resume. I think I need a little more experience with making one before I'm ready for the real thing. The Desktop Publisher was a fu ntool to use. You can also create business cards by using Publisher. I'd probably make banners or signs for my classroom just to give it some spunk or enthusiasm. I'm going to teach high school health...hopefully...but this kind of program would be good to make banners using many facts about health.
