VoiceThread

I VoiceThread is very interesting and pretty cool. It allows you to explain something verbally that is on a picture. I think this would be useful in the classroom because because it probably would keep the students engaged. I would use VoiceThread in my classroom especially in subjects like history. Using this in a history class would be pretty cool because you could use annimated voice overs on your picture.

desktop publishing

I really enjoyed using desktop publishing. It was my first time using it and I gained a bunch of knowledge on the program. I thought it was pretty cool and I really liked how my brochure turned out. The brochure is a very important thing because it lets the parents get some information about you as a teacher. I think I really need help on the resume because that is very important if you want to become a teacher. That is the first thing a school looks at before thay even interview you. Desktop publishing is very cool and I even would use it in my classroom. Students could use it when they give presentations. While they are giving their presentations they can give out handouts to their fellow peers. I would let them create their on brochure so that they could understand desktop publishing before they leave high school.
