CALL Revolution

VoiceThread.com provides us with a great online tool which allows us to post a picture or video, while creating a thread for people to comment on the picture or video with either text, voice, or even video. Those who post to the thread can also make annotations anywhere on the picture or video, you can even pause and restart to make various annotations. It's really neat check it out! Below I have embedded three threads which can be directly played and commented on through my blog. The other day in my CALL and Curriculum class we broke into small groups and discussed different topics (technology, curriculum, and integration) and we wrote ideas on poster paper. Feel free to post to the thread!
There are really a lot of possibilities here for the language classroom. For instance, students could post videos, or pictures with a voice comment, and then later the other students and/or the teacher could make comments. Teachers could post a video or picture before a class and then have students comment verbally-this might prepare them for the topic of the next class. Or it could be done after a class for reinforcement about ideas-similar to what I have done below. Really there are a lot of possibilities, feel free to comment!
