If you are interested in booking me (Wesley Fryer) for a presentation or workshop (either face-to-face or over video) please visit my Speaking page on www.speedofcreativity.org/speaking.

 

Update 25 August 2010:

In 2010 I am transitioning to the website wiki.wesfryer.com for my handout and presentation/workshop links. I'm not taking content here on PBworks offline, but I have added this "update header" to all my pages as well as adding direct links to more updated versions of these pages as I mirror them / create them on wiki.wesfryer.com. There are 146 pages here on teachdigital.pbworks.com. - You can browse these in page view in addition to using the four category links provided on the homepage. Note this wiki was previously mapped to "handouts.wesfryer.com" but that domain mapping is no longer available.

 

Stay updated on my latest posts by following me on Twitter, my blog ("Moving at the Speed of Creativity") and Facebook.

Collaboratively Sharing Student Work with VoiceThread

Student work should be shared beyond the traditional four walls of the classroom. Student motivation can increase when the audience changes, and students can learn valuable collaboration as well as digital citizenship skills in the process. In this session, participants will learn to weave digital photos, audio recordings, and constructive feedback (using text, audio and video) with a partner classroom focusing on a student project of their choice. Voicethread.com is the primary tool participants will use to collaboratively share student work. 

This session is being shared at the Oklahoma A+ Schools Statewide Conference on 12 September 2009 as a 1.5 hour workshop. The handout for this session is available as a SMS digital business card.

ALL WORKSHOP PARTICIPANTS: Please complete this Google Form or add your information to this Google Spreadsheet (sign-in is NOT required - both methods will populate the same spreadsheet)
