voicethread

This was my first experience with Voicethread and think it is an exciting new tool to use with my students. The tutorial that includes an image of Georges Seurat's painting explores how to use this tool in the context of art history and art education - both of which I could use in my classes. I frequently have critiques with my students, which is a time consuming activity when we are on a tight studio schedule to produce as many high quality works as possible in a given semester. This could be an alternative means to share thoughts about student work outside of class time. Of course using Voicethread to reflect on professional contemporary art and art history is another practical use of this interface. I can't wait to explore this site more and put it to work in my classroom.
