Voice Thread

I have listened to everyone's threads and comments on the VoiceThread conversation started by Dr. Gleason.  I think you all made some great points about how blogs, voice threads and other asynchronous tools can be used with students in the classroom.  They are useful for sharing information across space and time and in a way that provides all contributors the time to read, think about, and respond to particular ideas.  With so many different types of tools to facilitate discussion and the sharing ideas, I have become interested in figuring out how to link all of these things together.  In doing this, information can be shared through several different portals and can be accessed through any given site.

Above, I have posted a link to our VoiceThread.  I am working on embedding the thread to a blog post.  Once I have figured that out, I will detail instructions below in hopes of guided others of you to use your own VoiceThreads as part of a multimedia blog discussion...












UPDATE: Voila!
Embed your VoiceThread in a few simple steps...








1. Once you have arrived in the VoiceThread site, go to your "My Voice" page.

2.  Click the gear tab at the bottom right hand corner of your VoiceThread that says 'menu'.

3.  Click on 'Edit'
4.  At the bottom of the page you will see a tab to 'Embed.'  Click it.

5.  You are only given short cut options to embed to Facebook or Twitter so you will need to look down to the Embed code, find the 'Copy This' button to the left of the code and click.  The code has now been saved to your clipboard.

6.  Now you will return to Blogger.  Create a new post to start.  At the top left of the post you will see that your are now 'Compose' ing your post.  To add the HTML code of the VoiceThread you wish to embed click on 'HTML.'  This will change your screen to HTML coded instructions.

7. If you have already written in your post you will see other HTML codes and commands.  Press 'enter' to return to a new line and Paste the copied HTML code to the document.

8.  Look to the top right of your screen and click on 'Update.'

9. To check and make sure you have embedded your thread correctly click on 'View blog' at the header of your post.  (It will be just to the right of the Blogger Logo)

10.  You should be Embedded and ready to continue posting!


*Please let me know if any of the instructions are unclear!

Here is a YouTube video detailing similar instructions.  However, this post was made in 2010 and the Blogger layout looks slightly different.  The commands are all still the same but you will be looking for some of the tabs in different locations of your site page.
       ps.  I am not partial to this man's voice so if you feel the same way, I apologize. Still, a good visual for learning to embed your VoiceThreads to Blogger.
