VoiceThread Workshops – Dec. 2021/Jan. 2022
If you are new to VoiceThread or just want some new ideas, join us for these interactive and hands-on explorations.
About the Workshops
These workshops are completely free. The sessions are led by our instructional designer and online educator George Haines. George will share his expertise to help you get the most from VoiceThread.
VoiceThread and Storytelling
Most cognitive scientists agree that storytelling is a great way to help your message stick in the minds of an audience. Our minds are fine-tuned to remember information shared within a narrative structure, not a broadcast lecture. In this workshop, participants will learn how to use VoiceThread to create engaging stories with their students.
