I like to think of VoiceThread as one more great tool in my teaching toolbox.
I use different modalities for these: sometimes face-to-face or in our synchronous online class sometimes whole-class and sometimes in small groups, carousel style and often using VoiceThread. Presentation skills are important transferable skills, so students in my classes give mini presentations on different topics every week throughout our term. Part of teaching settlement means guiding students as they develop the knowledge and skills that will enable them to find success in their new country. I teach language and settlement to newcomers to Canada in a government-funded language program.
