Project for EDS 231

For the project I created a VoiceThread presentation. I wanted to create a lesson that students could access outside of the classroom, but still interact with other students. I first created a presentation in PowerPoint. I saved the slides as .png files and uploaded them to my account in VoiceThread. I wrote a script to go with the slides and recorded comments to the slides in VoiceThread. I tried to create a movie using PowerPoint slides by saving the slide presentation as a .mov file. But I didn't like the way it looked. I then tried to create a movie in iMovie, but the slide frames were cropped. So I added created some other slides and then created audio and video comments. I invited everyone in the class to view the VoiceThread and add comments.

While I like the mini lesson I created I think that the best use of this application would be for shorter, student generated presentations like the presentation that my daughter created. It was very easy to do and she had a blast creating it!
