Let’s see what online students have to say

about VoiceThread.

“I can say that all of my other online classes, I remember maybe one name from the class and

that is because I knew them in real life. I feel like I ‘know’ most of my classes [in this class] because of

the activities assigned.”

“Listening gave me a better understanding of the material. In the showcase assignments, you could

actually hear the passion in the speakers’ voices…”

“…having to say the words helped me understand what I was talking about better than if I had just

been writing it down.”

“…it made me re-evaluate my answers. Mostly because I didn't want to sound like I had no idea

what I was talking about. Plus when you write something down there is not much emotion to it

and being able to speak out loud my ideas made me feel like I could connect and explain the

material better.”

“I feel that taking this class and having been required to push

myself to leave voice comments has helped me learn that I am

capable of overcoming my fears of embarrassment.”
