Hello, I enjoyed your blog. I believe in the power of the portfolio so I too had students create a VT Portfolio this year. They had a detailed rubric (a check list) to follow and I used it as their final exam. One thing I would change would be to add it in at PT Conferences or send the link home so parents could enjoy too.

@Pam, I always get my students to share their voicethread with me (they use my VT username email) at the start. When we share with the parents, each student logs into their own VT account. If we make the VTs public, then we email the link to our parents so that they can watch it without being logged in, and can share with other relatives. The thing is, if you want parent’s comments to show up separate from their child’s comments, the parents must create an identity – either in their child’s VT account OR they sign up for their own VT account because if you’re not signed in, you’re prompted to sign in to leave a comment.

I just love the idea of student lead conferences with vt. Do all accounts show up in the teachers account when they are shared with the teacher? I was just wondering how you get them all together to share with the parents. Do you gather them all vys into some other format? Thanks for sharing . Great stuff. Pam

Hi Wes
Yes, each student had a “made-up” email account and had their own password. For example – maddys@isb.ac.th; simonp@isb.ac.th – those emails don’t actually exist, but they look real.
Everyone used their firstname lastname initial with the isb email ending. The only thing is, the password is NOT recoverable, because the email doesn’t actually exist, so I wrote down everyone’s password for safe keeping.
I do hope you start using voicethread again – it’s a fantastic tool to use in the classroom and it’s a lot of fun seeing how creative students can be!

I love voicethread but started last year as a rookie and I am planning on going back to it this year. However, my minor problem was with usernames and passwords. I had a class g-mail account with ONE password that we all shared. This was messy as we were all essentially sharing the same account. Am I correct in saying that you used one e-mail with different passwords for each student?
Thanks for the info as I really want to get using voicethread again.
