Voice Tools with Students
Wimba Podcaster Voice Board/Recorder Voice Presenter
Voice as a Facilitation Tool in OPDWanted to:
Connect with participants in more familiar way Get away from interacting purely through text Take advantage of freely-available
communication tools Summarize session discussions Learn how to use different voice tools
Tools I used: Audacity (audio recording program) iSight camera/iMovie (video programs for Mac)
ObservationsSome participants preferred audio
summaries, others preferred video summaries
Summaries were a topic of conversation in discussion board; brought group together
Many participants wanted to learn more about how to integrate voice tools into facilitation
Allowed me to frame issues in my own words, which personalized my facilitation
