Voicethread: Hot, Flat and Crowded assignment example

For this voicethread I thought of using it to create an assignment. Even through Voicethread is an easy application is seemed to take a while to learn how to upload the pictures and make the comments. My computer had trouble with a few comments so I had to re-record them. I think it is challenging to know if it is worth scripting to comments in advanced or try something more free flowing.

I liked the ability to embed examples from this fictional assignment into the assignment itself--which may captures student's imaginations from the first time they look at the assignment versus looking at examples for the first time the night before it is due.

If students were using this I would want to add in a few steps for them to turn in such as a story board, script and having a credits slide.

I really like the way you demonstrated what can be done in VoiceThread. If I were one of your students, I would be excited about this assignment.

What kind of trouble did you have when recording the comments? Which microphone did you use? I was glad to find out it was possible to “replace” the images without having to rerecord the comments.
