voicethread

This has been one of the more frustrating experiences of this class. I created a video using SMART Recorder, which was converted to a wmv file. I uploaded it to voicethread, which later stated that the upload can't be processed. I can't figure out why. The first voicethread is my attempt at doing it. The second is the one where I got the idea to use SMART Recorder. She taught a lesson on how to use a protractor.

I thought it might be a neat idea to assign a complex problem (such as finding the area of a composite shape), and have students create a voicethread on how they solved it. They would then need to commment on someone else's. It would be neat to share a couple of these during class. This would show students that a variety of methods could be used to solve the same problem. This could be done during class, but I think that doing this outside of class as well would allow students extra time to gather their thoughts. This could result in some profound thinking and discovery, which would then be shared with everyone.
