Here are our first efforts at making Voicethreads. They were surprisingly easy to make, and it looked like the students had fun. Our first attempt consisted of taking their already made Flickr slideshows from Project 1 and turning them into Voicethreads. This was easy because it is possible to import photos directly from Flickr.

To begin with, I created my own Voicethread as a demonstration project. I used this as a teaching tool to instruct students on how to create their own. My story was a simple narrative of a typical busy morning at our house: 

Here are the students’ Voicethreads. If you watch some of them, please leave a comment or two or three! The students will appreciate it.

Hey everyone,   You’ve been working hard at creating your Flickr slideshows recently, so I would like to post links to your projects here. Again, the goals of this project have been:

  • To practice taking good photographs (Don’t forget the Top 10 Tips!)
  • To learn how to manage and upload the photos to Flickr
  • To learn how to use Flickr in general
  • To create and share a slideshow that tells a story with English
  • To practice English by reading slideshow stories and leaving comments
These are all skills you will need to do projects later on this year. The project, in other words, was designed to give you a base of knowledge and ability. Here is a list of links to all of your hard work:
