5/6C’s Class Blog 2008

We’ve been working on VoiceThreads for a couple of weeks now. The process was this:

1. Plan the Story. This involved designing a storyboard with a section for each part of the story - these sections became the pages of our VoiceThread.
2. Draft the Script. This is where we took our initial ideas and turned them into a more detailed story. We planned what we would say in our recordings.
3. Finding Pictures. Then we spent ages collecting the pictures we needed to tell our story. We got them from a range of sources: Flickr, ToonDoo, Microsoft Paint, our own photographs, Kid Pix and our own drawings.
4. Redraft the Story. Then we checked that our story matched the pictures we had found. We made changes to the script so that it sounded fantastic.
5. Produce the VoiceThread. We uploaded our photos to our own VoiceThread and then added our voice comments. Most of us remembered to switch user to our own username, but a couple of us forgot!
6. Embed in your Blog. We had trouble with this because our own blogs are on Learnerblogs and VoiceThread won’t embed into them. Sad. :-(  So we are embedding them into this blog on our VoiceThread page and putting a link on our own blogs so people can find our work.
