Welcome back for the second ..or maybe third time this week!
Through my exploration of VoiceThread over the past couple of days I have found that this tool is a very interesting tool. I like how this particular tool is interactive in the sense that you can add a comment in multiple different ways such as a voice comment, video comment, make a comment using your phone, upload a comment and finally just typing out a comment. With that I like that you are able to see everyone's comments all along the side so you are able to access them easily. I think that tool is going to help with my learning because I like the idea that you are able to create a presentation that can include pictures and videos and when it is done and ready to go plays as a video, unlike a slide show presentation where you have to constantly click to the next slide.
When looking at my PLE I think that this tool will fit into a couple of different places, but I would most likely place it under create. I believe that this heading would suit it best because this tool allows be to create a presentation that I am able to add my personal voice comments into. When comparing this tool to the other tools that we have looked at I can say that I see some similarities as well as differences and the main difference would be something that I have already mentioned, which is the fact that you can comment and in many different ways. It is similar to the other tools because you are able to create a presentation and add in pictures, videos and text and allow the presentation to play. In regards to my PLN I think that this tool is great because everyone is able to comment on it and give their input and I always says that any criticism is good because you are able to learn from the negative comments or appreciate the good ones.
When I think about being a digital citizen at the beginning of this course I was not completely sure what that meant. Now I am gaining more and more knowledge about it and I now realize that there was so much more to being a digital citizen than just respecting the digital world and making sure that what you were posting and what you were doing was appropriate. Which leads me into what I have learned about digital rights and responsibilities which is that it is our right to make sure that what we are posting or sharing is appropriate for everyone to see or for whomever we are allowing to see it. It is also our right to make sure that the sites we are posting on give us the option to keep things private such as personal information about ourselves and even our families. I know that I still have a lot to learn and I am looking forward to it.
As I was going through my Feedly reader this week I found a blog post from the Brock University Student Bloggers and this article talked about keeping in touch with Brock through social media. I though that this sort of related to digital rights and responsibilities because what it posted on those sites is also appropriate to the audience they have. This blog gives you all of the different Facebook pages, Twitter handles, etc. so that we are able to keep up-to-date on what is going on at our school. If you would like to see this blog all you have to do is click HERE.
Until next time,
Amanda :)
