ActivitiesThe following set of activities can be implemented in the order suggested or inother order, at your convenience. What matters is to complete all of them before

the week ends.

Part 1. Weekly meta-reflection (25 points)A meta-reflection is an illation of ideas that threads prior reflections. In ICTE this

exercise implies to review lessons learned by all participants from last week

activities and to generate new ideas as educators who want to develop experience-

based knowledge.

1.1 Collecting gems from Week 3/Topic 3 lessons learned

Use the button to find and press the VIEW link in

. You can review prior postings in several ways, these are

two very useful:

1. If you want to see what was posted per day, use Calendar hyperlinks to

have access to interventions posted on specific dates. Third week/topic of the

ICTE course went from October 5 to 23, 2009.

2. Use FILTERS to select authors (all, one by one).

Read each of the postings from week/topic 3, copy and paste to your text processor

those ideas that call your attention. At the end of the review process youll have a

collection of gems that will help in your meta-reflection.

Part 3. Explore and master VOICETHREAD

3.1 Motivation and basic references

Voice-based online interaction is a trend, and there is a growing effort to properly support thisinitiative. You can use Wimba Voice if you want students to participate in voice-based online

forums within Blackboard; both the discussion seeds and interventions are oral; WSSU has

campus license for this tool. In addition, you can use VoiceThread if you want your students toorally discuss digital learning objects such as pictures, documents, presentations, movies. You

will have open access to create you first three voicethreads, and can subscribe for expandedservices at a reasonable price.

3.2 Lets know about each other (5 points)

The purpose of this short activity is to warm up in the use of

VoiceThread. Alvaro created a mosaic with all our pictures; it

will serve as an excuse to expand our common ground, using

voice or text to share about ourselves.

To facilitate the process we will use only one Voicethread

account and multiple identities (one for each of you). Use this

mechanics of changing the identity before posting.

When ready to change the identity, use the "Let's know abouteach other" link to share about yourself in the roundtable

around ICTE participant's mosaic. If the machine asks you to

sign in use "[email protected]" with password "ICTE2009".

In this activity you are invited to comment on a Powerpoint presentation prepared

by Alvaro Galvis. Each of the slides has a short oral reflection. The last two slides

include discussion seeds.

Once the PPT presentation was uploaded to Voicethread, Alvaro included

explanations for each of the slides, in some cases via video and voice, in others justvoice, or text.

By pressing the icon with Alvaro's picture, at the bottom of the screen, you will be

able to change the identify of the recorder. Please do so before entering your

comments.

The goal of this activity is to let you explore another way of using VoiceThread. Feel

free to comment on any of the slides, and to contribute to the final discussion (there

are four discussion seeds).

Enjoy!

3.4 Comment on a video segment (5 points)

This short activity makes use of a 10 seconds open access video segment that

shows a flying butterfly next to a red flower. In order to participate you should

select your identify and record your comment. I already included an opening

commentary. Please add yours by stopping the video where you want to insert your
