Reflection:
Using VoiceThread, this allows a creator to design a relevant learning experiences that incorporate digital tools and resources to promote student learning about computer viruses. Using a non-traditional method, VoiceThread, to deliver information provides a “technology-enriched learning environment” for the students. The students will be able to discover their own way to present their knowledge beyond the traditional methods, e.g., Microsoft PowerPoint presentation or oral announcement.

I believe the students will get excited to see instruction delivered to them in a new educational tool. Using VoiceThread helped me expand my horizon of using more contemporary education tool. It gave me a good alternative method of packaging my instruction to be presented and also able to receive feedback in a more fun, interactive medium. Having this medium to allow students and instructor to share idea using video, voice and text based comment is a great way to reach out to a diverse group of student population.
