With the use of multimedia, it allows students to be more open in their project that they are working on. Some kids may be more vocal and others are not and with technology their voice will be heard. In addition, it allows not only the teacher to see the progress but also the members of that group to use group processing 9reflecting on how well the team is functioning and how to function even better). (Pitler, Hubbell, Kuhn, Malenoski, 2007) There are lots of social learning theories to choose from, but the right one to use has to be based on the teacher’s teaching style.
The Voice Thread is a great tool and one for students that are used to the blog and want to input more verbally than just typing in a comment. To hear another person’s voice is more meaningful that reading what they are wanting you to read. To hear a voice you can tell by their tone, there speech, the speed in which the talk, and of how passionate they are of something or how strongly they believe in what they are saying just by listening to their voice.
