I feel that voice threads can give you an opportunity as another instructional tool for learning. If I were to create my own web page or blog for my students I could use a thread to give directions, prompt them for an assignment or a review exercise, and it would allow a student to either read or listen to the prompt. It would take some time to establish , but it would definitely be an idea I would like to implement. Another great way I could possibly use a voice thread would for note taking or missed assignments. Students could go my web page and retrieve the notes from that day and get an explanation of the missing assignments and procedures. Again I must stress that in my district not many of our students have access to the internet at home. This would be great if each one of my students did, but the reality of it all is that they do not.

ReplyDeleteI think schools will have to start offering a master's program in bridging the gap between parents and their student's education.
ReplyDeleteI would have to agree that we are facing more and more scenarios that inhibit parents from being involved.
It is no surprise, and requires no extensive study to see the profound effects parental involvement has on student success and performance. I often wonder why it is so obvious and yet the problem seems to be growing. Is it a factor of not caring or necessity?
I'm sure both are contributors, neither, however, seems like a reasonable excuse to cast a shadow over the lives and potential of our youth.
