Reinventing Language Learning with VoiceThread
Friday, April 20th at 12pm PDT/3pm EDT
The VoiceThread College Innovator Webinar Series, hosted by Michelle Pacansky-Brock
Are you curious about how to use VoiceThread in your foreign language or ESL classes? Or are you looking for some new ideas? Get together with your colleagues and join us for an hour of sharing on April 20th!
This webinar will feature the teaching innovations of:
David Thompson, Associate Professor of Spanish, Luther College
David will show you how he uses VoiceThread for a digital storytelling exercise in which students narrate a photo story with the imperfect and preterite tenses in Spanish.
Vicki Curtis, Associate Professor of ESL, Ohlone College
Vicki will demonstrate how she uses VoiceThread to conduct a virtual writing conference with her beginning writing ESL students and explain how VoiceThread has played a key role in the development of her online reading and writing upper intermediate ESL class -- a feat that many said was "impossible!"
Please note: This webinar is not intended for begining VoiceThread users. Learn VoiceThread basics in the support center. View example VoiceThreads in the Digital Library, or contact us to receive information on upcoming "VoiceThread Basics" Webinars!
