Mod 8B Voicethread.com Global Cooperation Project

I believe that the web 2.0 tool, Voicethread.com would be a great choice to use when implementing a global cooperation project. Voicethread transforms media into collaborative spaces with video, voice, and text commenting. I would use this tool in my Library 102 Information Literacy class. The class is a 5 week long class. We anticipate having the class as an online class allowing anyone to sign up for it. There are 5 modules in the Library 102 class. The modules can be put up as a video and then teachers and student would be able to collaborate. It would be great also to get students from other countries signing up for the class. We see students signing up from other countries in some of the online classes that our college teaches. In the class, there would be instruction and research and then the participants would use Voicethread to help reinforce what was learned in the classroom, for question and answering and for the discussion part of each class. This would really enhance online learning and be a wonderful collaboration tool. I think the best way to try this out to see if it would work the way I think it might, would be to pilot a small group and try it out.
