Fun Fact ILOVEYOU is one of the most well-known and destructive viruses of all time.  It’s been 20 years since ILOVEYOU was let loose on the internet.  If you got an email today like the one that was sent around in 2000, you’d never open it. The virus came in an email with a subject line that said “I love you!” People clicked into the email regardless of the fact the email wasn’t from anyone they knew.  The malware was a worm that was downloaded by clicking on an attachment called ‘LOVE-LETTER-FOR-YOU.TXT.vbs’. ILOVEYOU overwrote system files and personal files and spread itself over and over and over again. ILOVEYOU was so effective it actually held the Guinness World Record as the most ‘virulent’ virus of all time.  Cost of the malware: $15 billion.

This episode features a new guest Marina Mosti, author of the book "Build Forms with Vue.js." We get the opportunity to chat about forms in Vue, her writing process and her journey as a developer and educator. [00:01:25] Marina discusses how she started using Vue and how she started coding using PHP, which led her to Laravel, a free open source PHP web framework. [00:04:18] Elizabeth asks Marina what made her want to become an educator and put out those resources into the ecosystem. [00:05:39] Marina talks about mentoring other women and offering 5-10 minute workshops and exercises to help them understand various focused topics like principles of UX. Also, she talks about the first article she wrote on date-fns. [00:09:23] Marina touches on writing for Progress. Then at some point she started working for VoiceThread and created an educational oriented tool for teachers and users. [00:11:12] Marina’s book, “Building Forms With Vue.js,” was an idea based on a personal annoyance she had with websites not being able to submit forms. Listen to hear about what her book is about. [00:17:10] Ben asks a question about what it means to “mask your input.” Marina talks about Vuelidate and how it’s an amazing library. [00:27:07] Ben asks Marina about how writing a blog was not at all like writing a long article. She elaborates on this. [00:32:56] Ari asks about techniques Marina uses to make sure you’re breaking things to a level that’s digestible to someone new to programming. [00:40:58] Elizabeth asks if Marina has any suggestions for dealing with CSS and dynamic forms. Special Guest: Marina Mosti.

Join me as I talk about how you can use VoiceThread in your classroom to assess students.

Colette Cassinelli: VoiceThread in the Classroom | Steve Hargadon | Feb 21 2009 by Steve Hargadon

Texas Tech nursing faculty integrated general education competencies into their RN-BSN program, set benchmarks for student performance, and integrated teaching strategies in each nursing courses to help students achieve these general education benchmarks. Strategies included Faculty Conversations, Policy and Model Development, VoiceThread, Test Items, and PowToons.

VoiceThread is a great Web 2.0 tool to be used in the classroom for assessment!

In episode one of “Web 2.0 Tools for School’s,” Megan discusses how VoiceThread can be used as a summative assessment. She even gives an example of how she used VoiceThread with her 5th graders! You’ll want to hear this!

From 2008: Joining me today is a co-founder of VoiceThread, Steve Muth. I encourage you to visit voicethread.com and set up a free account while we talk because I expect we’ll go through a bit of a tutorial momentarily.

Tired of boring online text discussions? Looking for a way for students to annotate, critique, or analyze images, videos, presentations and documents? In this episode, we’ll examine how VoiceThread can augment class activities and assignments. Our guest is Jeffrey Riman. Jeffrey is a coordinator of the Center for Excellence in Teaching at the Fashion Institute of Technology. He's also a consultant and educator at Parsons The New School University. Jeffrey is a council member and the incoming chair of the State University of New York's Faculty Advisory Council on Teaching and Technology.  At FIT, the Fashion Institute of Technology, he is also the chair of the Faculty Senate Committee on instructional Technology.

How do you give your students feedback? What tools do you use to give your students feedback? We've been taught that feedback to students in a timely way is so important. Figuring out how you do that can be confusing. We delve into some of the tools that we use. Originally recorded on April 15  

TODAY’S GUEST: STEVE MUTH, CO-FOUNDER, VOICETHREAD(December 2008) If we keep our eyes open, there are a few things us grizzled old parents can still learn from our kids.About a month or two ago, my daughter came home from school all excited about some new online gadget where her teacher could post something online and then she and her classmates could add their own comments, either by typing or speaking.To be honest, it didn’t immediate click for me.Then my wife and I went to a program organized by the 7th grade teachers at school intended to expose us to the variety of new technologies and online programs the kids would be using this year. The same program was demonstrated but, again, I didn’t get it.My wife did, however. She thought it was pretty cool and even wrote about it for the St. Petersburg Times. When I read her interpretation—and then we played with it at home—the light bulb clicked on for me.VoiceThread is a fantastical online program that is great for classrooms, but as our family discovered, it is also a wonderful tool for families to preserve and share photos, historical documents and much more.Joining me today is a co-founder of VoiceThread, Steve Muth and Ben Pappel. I encourage you to visit voicethread.com and set up a free account while we talk because I expect we’ll go through a bit of a tutorial momentarily.Subscribe to Mr. Media for FREE on YouTube: http://www.youtube.com/subscription_center?add_user=MrMediaRadioFor more interviews like this one: http://www.MrMedia.com What is Mr. Media® Interviews?

When Pat Thompson found out about Voicethread, an online communication tool that allows users to share and discuss documents, presentations, images, audio files and videos, she jumped on the chance to communicate in a much more authentic way with candidates that are in the midst of graduate work and their practicum experience. Pat's project will focus on investigative research and implementation of Voicethread within curriculum for the coming year.

Classroom 2.0 LIVE webinar, Student Study Tools, Tammy Moore presenter, February 28, 2015. We are excited to have Tammy Moore back on Feb. 28, 2015 to present for us on some of the wonderful student study tools she has discovered, uses and recommends to her virtual home school students and teachers. Students often need help in developing their study habits. Today she is going to talk about some learning theories, tips, and technology that can help students take charge of their personal study time. We will explore the four types of subjects and look at theories and tech tools that work great with each one. About Tammy: Besides being the fantastic co-moderator for all of our Classroom 2.0 LIVE shows where she faithfully provides closed-captioning for every show, Tammy is an incredibly knowledgeable, talented, creative ed tech enthusiast. Tammy lives in Arkansas and is a Course designer/developer, teacher, trainer, admin at VHSG and an artist, mom, volunteer using Blackboard Collaborate, Moodle, VoiceThread, Cmap, and Adobe eLEarning Suite with a course co-operative called the Virtual Homeschool Group (http://www.virtualhomeschoolgroup.com/) Tammy has spearheaded the development and growth of this co-operative that has the purpose of getting professional grade tools for e-learning out to people that want to offer a free online course for home school students. Her project uses Moodle as an LMS and Blackboard Collaborate for their live, online classroom. As an example of the exciting work that Tammy does check out her earlier presentation on Classroom 2.0 LIVE (http://live.classroom20.com/archive-and-resources/captivate-our-kids-tammy-moore) where she demonstrated how to create our own interactive lessons and games for the computer and iPad for and with our kids using Adobe Captivate ( a tool that will let us make lesson presentations, cool interactive activities and games, software how-tos, screen recordings, self-scoring quizzes (you can even set them up to post the grades automatically to an LMS), and more.

Hong Li and Yu Li, of the Department of Russian and East Asian Languages and Cultures, demonstrate their use and the effectiveness of VoiceThread in langauge instruction.

“Connect with Teaching” is a showcase of faculty using technology in the classroom to enhance student learning and engagement. Faculty members present their assignments and analysis of the impact of the technology within the classroom.

Sick of text conversations online? Voicethread lets you discuss video, images, text or just share information online using audio, video and/or text. You can host discussions, create online presentations, or even make a digital story. Participants will learn to use Voicethread, get a professional account through SSU, and experience exemplary classroom implementation.

This week, Jake Standish discusses the app VoiceThread!

This presentation describes students’ uses of iOS app affordances to foster collaborative reading, writing, and speaking/listening literacy practices in the classroom given the need to determine how apps can be used to foster literacy practices. By app affordances, we mean those literacies fostered through how apps are employed in activities. These affordances are not “in” apps, but rather are fostered through creating engaging activities. We illustrate how these affordances are fostered through activities with specific examples of how California 5th and 7th graders students’ to engage in certain literacy practices. Students used the Popplet Lite concept-mapping app to identify and elaborate on relationship between concepts to address the question, what is gold? They used the Diigo and DocAS annotation apps for highlighting sections of essays about the positive and negative aspects of using wind turbines for energy use and then adding annotations posing questions about essays, annotations used for later summary writing. They used the VoiceThread app for creating presentations arguing their case for whether volcanoes, an asteroid, or a supernova led to the extinction of the dinosaurs. And, they used the ShowMe app for creating screencast presentations illustrating Mendel’s genetics theory. One key affordance in use of these apps is the multimodal integration reading, writing, and speaking/listening. For example, they used the ShowMe app to create doodle drawings serve as visual illustrations of their voice-over talk about genetics, illustrations that, in turn, served to focus and foster elaboration of their talk. Another key affordance is that the mediate collaborative construction of ideas and presentations. For example, in using the VoiceThread app, pairs of students would take turns in responding to the same images, as well as share their presentations with other students for their comments. All of this suggests the importance of teachers creating activities that exploit the affordances of iOS apps in the classroom to foster literacy learning.

SaTP30.mp3 Listen on Posterous Guests Ellen Masten Academic and College Counselor Pacific Collegiate School and Michele Radcliffe, Director of College Counseling at York SchoolNews of the Week:1) Thomas Friedman’s “Teaching For America” Op-Ed piece in Sunday’s NYT Honoring teachers as professionals, preparing & compensating them accordingly; role of parents - The more we demand from teachers the more we have to demand from students and parents. 2) Growing Up Digital, Wired for Distraction NYTimes Magazine “Their brains are rewarded not for staying on task but for jumping to the next thing,” said Michael Rich, an associate professor at Harvard Medical School and executive director of the Center on Media and Child Health in Boston. And the effects could linger: “The worry is we’re raising a generation of kids in front of screens whose brains are going to be wired differently.”Allison Miller, 14, sends and receives 27,000 texts in a month, her fingers clicking at a blistering pace as she carries on as many as seven text conversations at a time. She texts between classes, at the moment soccer practice ends, while being driven to and from school “The headline is: bring back boredom,” added Dr. Rich, who last month gave a speech to the American Academy of Pediatrics entitled, “Finding Huck Finn: Reclaiming Childhood from the River of Electronic Screens.”3) Computers In Schools Are A Failure, Says Computer Pioneer Alan Kay [Apple in Educ] Kay says the education system has squandered 30 years of technology in classrooms. He likens the modern factory educatory system to a monkey with a microscope. The monkey looks at its reflection in the microscope’s barrel but doesn’t look through the eyepiece — it utterly misses the point.4) Project Red: Do 1:1 right or don't do it at all ZDNet EducationLast month, Project Red, an initiative to “Revolutionize Education” through technology, released findings on the utility and factors for success in 1:1 computing. Their research, which spanned almost 1000 schools using a comprehensive survey instrument over the 2009-2010 school year suggested that, when done correctly, 1:1 computing can have measurable and significant impacts on teaching and learning. When done poorly, 1:1 is just an added cost without any added educational value. 5) The Secret To Getting Every Student Excited About Writing Tech&Learning “A lot of student writing is of little interest to anyone beyond the teacher.”Main Topic:  College Admission: 2010: Part I (through submitting applications) Guests Ellen Masten and Michele Radcliffe 8 Big Changes to College Admission in 2010-2011 - Yahoo News http://www.nacacnet.org/PublicationsResources/steps/Pages/default.aspx .  This is a subsection of the NACAC website, the National Association of College Admissions Counselors.  The URL gives students and parents information about various topics in the college admission process. Questions on our minds: When should students first start thinking actively about college admission and what should their initial steps entail? What are your tips for helping high school students identify the best college/universities to match their interests & personalities? How many schools should a student be applying to?  Is there a notion of applying to too many? How important are college visits? interviews with reps? teacher evaluations? course rigor vs. SAT scores? What are the trends now that admission offices with smaller staffs are inundated with more applications? (See “Application Inflation” from previous podcast) How can an applicant make his or her application stand out from the crowd? Do DVDs and ePortfolios help showcase student work effectively or are they ignored for lack of time? How has the role of private counselors evolved and are parents getting their money’s worth? A new ethics code for college admissions counselors - EducationNews.Org & USA Today 6.7.10 - The number of families hiring private counselors to advise them on the college application process continues to grow, with one recent study estimating that 26% of "high achieving" students now make use of such counselors. The field is unregulated and includes many one- or two-person operations, as well as large, slick businesses that boast about their clients' track records. Tim's Tech Tidbit: Facebook Connect (and what you give away by using it) Facebook Developer Documentation Endorsements: Cammy: VoiceThread - a collaborative, multimedia slide show that holds images, documents, and videos and allows people to navigate slides and leave comments in 5 ways Kevin: 20 Things I learned about Browsers and the Web  by Google: http://www.20thingsilearned.com/ Tim: My endorsement is the same as Kevin’s!

QuickstartThis is an activity to teach tone.  It connects to teaching writers how to use tone with different audiences and different purposes.For this activity, you will leave a short voice mail message (see items 1-18 below or make your own following the rules). The rules are--you are trying to set up a meeting at 9am on Friday with Michael and/or Jennifer Shelby (fictitious couple). You must create a scenario and leave a message with an appropriate tone. Use the comments feature on the VoiceThread video below. Your message should be shorter than 20 seconds or less than 75 words. You have to keep it clean and no 'real' personal information.You are required to leave an audio message, but feel free to add other comments in text. You cannot leave a message that has been left already (so please listen to all that are there). Here's the link to the full project. OverviewTone is a difficult concept to teach students even though it is one of the most fundamental aspects of our written and spoken communication. This activity will help students accurately characterize tone as readers and listeners as well as effectively use tone as writers and speakers. One reason tone is difficult to teach is because often students are formally introduced to tone when they are reading a challenging text and getting pushed for comprehension and fluency. This activity introduces tone in a way that connects the concept of tone to everyday situations and invests the students as readers, writers, and speakers of different tones. It can be done as a stand-alone activity or before or during the study of tone in a poem, short story, or novel.Activity: ReadingAll of the messages below are voice mails left for Jennifer and Michael Shelby. All of the messages request the same thing--a meeting for 9pm on Friday.1) From a boss who wants to see an employee who is chronically late. Michael, We need to meet. I’ll expect you in my office at 9am sharp on Friday morning.2) From a friend who wants to apologize. Oh, Jennifer. I really need to talk to you. I hope you’ll listen to me. Can we meet? Friday? Around 9 in the morning? I’ll bring the coffee.3) From a teacher who wants to see the parent of a student who seems troubled lately. Hello, Ms. Shelby. This is Mr. Ross, Johnny’s homeroom teacher. I was hoping we could meet. Your son is doing OK in class, but I was concerned about his mood lately and wanted to talk to you about it. Let me know if we can meet. Is 9am on Friday good for you? You can contact me on my cell 311 555-2368.4) From an aluminum siding salesman who wants to show a homeowner your product. Hello, Mr Shelby, I’m Ralph Bellabue from Armorall Siding. I’ve got a great new product—perfect for your house, and we’re running a sale this month. I’ll be in your neighborhood, and I’d love to stop by and give you some information that I think you’ll find valuable. Let me know if 9am on Friday is a good time for you. You can contact me at 311 555-2368.Think about these questions-- How would you describe the tone? How does the tone relate to the purpose and audience? * What words, phrases and punctuation convey the tone? How would you say each of the messages?Activity: Creating a MessageYou too want to set up a meeting at Friday at 9 am with "Jennifer" or "Michael," the fictional couple who we are communicating to. Again, The facts of this message will be the same—meeting, Friday, 9 am—but you must change your tone based on the situation. For this activity you will be leaving a voice mail. You do not have to give all of the information about the meeting on the recording….only enough to set up the meeting. You can make up details such as names and places. Just keep the message to less than 20 seconds/or 75 words. Think of the words, phrases, punctuation when you write and then the vocal inflections when you speak. This all creates your tone. Create a message for a 9 am Friday meeting based on these scenarios:5) You are a very wealthy adult who wants to surprise your mother and father (Jennifer and Michael) with the gift of a brand new car.6) You are a police detective who needs to interview a suspect in a major crime.7) You are a person who crashed into a parked car and now you have to call the owner (this is the right thing to do, and there were witnesses).9)You are a lawyer with some bad news for your client that you cannot say over the phone.10) You are a doctor with some great medical news for your patient that you cannot say over the phone.Creative BONUSHow would…11) A person in distress leave the message12) A lonely person leave the message13) A bitter person leave the message14) A surprised person leave the message15) An optimistic person leave the message16) A person who was infatuated leave the message17) An abrupt person leave the message18) An Apprehensive Person leave the messageAgain, feel free to make up details such as names, events, and places…but keeping the message under 20 seconds or less than 75 words.Write itRecord it (we are using Voicethread please use the comment feature to record your "voice mail") Note--many students can use help with vocabulary to subtly and accurately describe tone and emotions. You might want to discuss and define words that describe emotions and then have them create messages based on them. Several good lists of emotions can be found at Wikipedia

I have re-created a walk that I took back in 2007 and used in a Voicethread. We are very lucky where we live I think with such evocative landscape around us, from the valleys and waterfalls to the post industrial landscape from the 18th and 19th Century when this part of Wales was part of the great iron making centre of the world. Maesygwartha is right on the edge of the South Wales coalfield and as such shows the transition from an industrial to a largely farming economy. This video was produced using MS Movie Maker, the photos and audio were taken on my work Blackberry as aprt of an experiment to test how easy it was to use mobile technology to post to the 'net. As it happens it was not a straightforward process. For more information check out http://ddraig-goch.blogspot.com/

Teachers of our youngest students are often left behind when trying to implement new technologies into their curriculum. They may receive the “hand-me-down” equipment and issues related to teaching the youngest classrooms are not addressed through in-service. This presentation demonstrates 3 web 2.0 tools that are ideal for transforming learning to students in the early grades: Voicethread, Dipity and Blogging. The presentation consists of a screencast with a supporting wiki for links, examples and extended resources. Authentic student projects will be used in the demonstration and information given on implementation strategies for the teacher.
