"A New Life"

VoiceThread

VoiceThread was the most confusing for me out of all of these three options. I didn't quite understand how to get the voice activation to work (I also do not have a microphone on my laptop). so I only used the written comments.

I feel that this is the most relevant to a mathematics class. It would be very easy for a student to follow how to graph a function or follow how to solve an equation using this program. Actually, in high school, my Calculus teacher had a smart board, and whenever he had to miss class, he would tape his voice to the slide shows so that it was basically a normal class. It was really cool that he was that up on technology at the time, and it was great not having a 'blow-off' day whenever we had a substitute. I definitely see the importance of this program in a math class, though I would have to explore more to know how to better apply this.

Animoto

The animoto was by far the easiest one of all of these to create. To be honest, however, I don't really see the point of this in the classroom. Especially in mathematics, there really isn't a need for a slideshow of pictures. The concept is really cool and I really like how the pictures go with the music and such, but I don't really see the relevence in a math classroom.
