To be an active Voicethreader, start by
carefully working your way through a presentation. While viewing
pictures and listening to the comments that have been added by
other users, you can:
- Gather Facts: Jot down things that are interesting and new to you
- Make Connections: Relate and compare things you are viewing and hearing to things that you already know
- Ask Questions: What about the comments and presentation is confusing to you? What don't you understand? How will you find the answer? Remember that there will ALWAYS be questions in an active thinker's mind
- Give Opinions:
Make judgments about what you are viewing and hearing.
Do you agree? Do you disagree? Like? Dislike? Do you support or
oppose anything that you have heard or seen? Why?
You might try using the following sentence starters to shape your thoughts and comments while viewing or participating in Voicethread presentations.
Comments based on these kinds of statements make Voicethreads interactive and engaging.
