Summer Technology Institute

Just finished the week long 2008 Summer Technology Institute in Belfast yesterday. As I expected, it was a great experience and I gleamed many new technologies that I intend to use in my classes and elsewhere. As time permits, I will review some of the apps I looked at and pass on the links for you to try.

I also want to share the VoiceThread I put together this week. As many of you know, am restructuring all my course offerings this fall. The Summer Tech Institute gave me a great place to see what's out there that is interesting, relevant, and free. VoiceThread fits the bill. I put this thread together for the strand I was it. It was exceptionally easy to use and edit and will certainly be used in several of my classes this year. Click on my VoiceThread below and give me your thoughts. Additionally, visit VoiceThread at http://voicethread.com/#home and browse though the many threads and click on the Classroom link to explore their secure educational components. Remember, this is a free application...
