web 2.0 Presentation Tool

I have developed a voicethread to be used in an upcoming online course at Lamar University, Housekeeping for Lodging Properties. In this assignment, students will locate an Executive Housekeeper in a hotel and interview them using pre-selected questions. The student will then record their responses (or even have the Executive Housekeeper record their responses) in Voicethread by any of the available means. At the end of the project the class will have then created a collaborative interview assignment that reflects the "voices" of housekeepers across the world.





Note: During the creation of this Voicethread I noticed that voicethread has changed their site and now only allows 3 complimentary voicethreads then you must purchase access. I did test and realize that if you have created 3 voicethreads and delete one of them you will be able to create a new one.

Web 2.0 Tools for Collaboration

UH Group #2's Voicethread

Our group discussed the following topics:

1. What special needs does a distance learner have?

2. What specific skills does a teacher need in an online environment to meet the needs of students?

Our task was to complete this discussion using the web 2.0 application Voicethread (Click here to go to the Voicethread website).
