Podcast

I came across a website called Voicethread http://voicethread.com/#home It allows you to upload a picture or a students artwork and the student and others can record comments. It looks like a really neat site. I could see having a students create art and then record their voice talking about the artwork. Others would also be able to comment on the artwork. I wonder.... would this count as a podcast?

  1. What a great find!! This would be an awesome way for students to showcase their works and explain what they've learned!!

  2. I don't know if this would count as a Podcast. I think the main idea of a podcast is that it is published regularly. In my podcast lesson plan I had students record their songs and I had to add something to it so that way it was published more regularly and had some commentary as well.

    I do think that the website would be a great tool to use in general though to promote critiquing. You could maybe do it as I did and have an artist of the week and post their stuff and their podcast of them describing it and then people could comment. You could even combine a blog in there somewhere too!
