End of week 2 - have got the laptop - yeah - thanks to a kind friend who didn't need her old one anymore.
Have just been on the Voicethread site. How cool is that!!
Images of all sorts of stuff, with people able to respond and share by voice, text, drawing etc.
One of my goals from this course is to develop more lines of communication between the museum and schools - this has heaps of potential.
Ideas off the top of my head include posting images of objects that a visiting school group are likely to see or handle. Students could record their response to the object before visiting in the form of questions/statements etc. We get an idea of what they like/don't like/know/want to find out about. This info comes direct from the students to us (and anyone else I suppose). Students could look at voice threads from other visiting groups. We can respond directly to the students on the voice thread too.
This is a practical way of communication as it is asynchronous - we don't all need to be at the computer at the same time, however only relatively small amounts of information can be shared.
