Have you ever viewed a PowerPoint or slideshow presentation before? Slideshows are usually presentations of pictures with or without text about a certain subject. Take for example, the slideshow below that I created about me:
This slideshow has many images, but what's missing? That's right, this presentation is silent and potentially boring!
One way to create lively and exciting presentations is by using VoiceThread. Get to know VoiceThread by watching this presentation about Denmark:
Today you are going to explore VoiceThread and begin creating a VoiceThread project that explains all about yourself.
1. Think of 6 words that you use to describe yourself. They can be adjectives or nouns. For example: books, girl, smart, musical, fantastic
You can even use a thesaurus to help you. Make sure you click on "thesaurus" before you type in you word.
2. Find 6 images or pictures from Flickr Creative Commons, Wikimedia, MorgueFile, NASA's Image Gallery, or Trek Earth that will help you portray that word.
For example, for the word "FANTASTIC" I could choose this photo:
3. After choosing your 6 photos that match with your 6 words. You will write an explanation of why that word describes yourself.
Share your completed VoiceThread storyboard with your neighbor and Ms. Hernandez. After completing this storyboard, she will create your VoiceThread identity and you will begin creating your very own VoiceThread!
