Blogging - Writing vs. Speaking (Part 2)

Did you see the blog topic from May 15th about the audio blog? (To check that out, visit this link: http://elearningbroward.blogspot.com/2009/05/blogging-writing-vs-speaking.html.)

Let's return to Voice Thread to see another example of an audio blog in action & to see how people from all over are participating in it!

Click this link: http://voicethread.com/#q.b1191.i13695 and watch the voice thread. (If you want to participate on the voice thread, either by talking or typing, you will need to join the site. But that is quick & easy to do!)

After reviewing that, try to find some other voice threads that interest you! Go to this site (http://voicethread.com/#home and click the link that says "Browse" (on the top of the page, near the left side). Then, type in any word or phrase you want and press the "Enter" or "Return" key on your keyboard! See what comes up! (Key words like "math," "poetry," "history," and even "blog" bring up lots of neat voice threads!)

Once you've had a chance to do this, come back here & let us know what key word or phrase you used & what type of voice threads you found! Did any seem really good? If so, tell us so we can visit them too! :-)

The topic I chose was Interior Design. It was a personal topic. I viewed quit a few threads and what I noticed was: topic covered, tone, enthusiam, and conviction. It was the same topic covered, but the verbal display of the information.

The topic I chose was losing weight. It speak about motivation and expectation. It just like you want a A on your exams. You want so bad that you would do what it takes to get it done.

Air Travel is the topic I chose. I then selected Dr. B's Egypt Adventure,... It was very interesting to listen to the voice thread where questions were directed to Dr. B about his visit to Cairo and Alexandria, Egypt; and more specifically, about the pyramids in Egypt.
