Voice Thread

Go to Voice thread. Browse the application. Click on the ‘help’ tab to get to FAQs and tutorials. Take the tutorials to learn how to make a spectacular voice thread.

Here are the steps to making a Voice Thread:

1. Select your topic.

2. Research your topic and take notes from several different sources. For example, you might get facts from a book, from World Book Online, and from a website.

3. Start a PowerPoint presentation. Label one of your slides "Resources." This is where you will put your citations for the resources that you have used. If you use World Book Online, you can highlight the citation, then copy and paste it to your Resources slide. For the other citations, use http://citationmachine.net/. This is a fill-in-the-blank program that will help you create your citations that you will copy and paste on your Resources slide.

4. Find pictures and images that go with your topic. Save them in your Pictures folder.
Add pictures and titles to PowerPoint slides (you must have a minimum of 5 slides but you can have more).

5. Then you will write a script. Use notebook paper or Word to create your script. Your script will be the information that you will say that will go with each slide. You can keep the information short.

6. When you are finished, let me approve it.

7. You will then create a Voice Thread account or you can use mine. You will download your PowerPoint into Voice Thread.

8. Finally, you will record the information for each slide using the microphone.

9. Embed your Voice Thread on your blog.
