00:00:08,939 --> 00:00:17,460
Right, today we are going to work on the speaking part of this unit, so we are going to use a new application to do it online.

2
00:00:17,879 --> 00:00:23,140
We are going to work with VoiceThread, and I'm going to explain in a minute how it works.

3
00:00:23,660 --> 00:00:39,170
Can you hear me properly? Okay, so we continue.

4
00:00:40,409 --> 00:00:44,929
I'm going to show you just a very short video, right, to see how it works.

5
00:00:45,570 --> 00:00:48,009
I'm going to share the screen with you.

6
00:00:48,009 --> 00:01:05,939
Welcome to VoiceThread, simply speaking.

7
00:01:07,060 --> 00:01:11,159
VoiceThread is a cloud-based application that allows you to upload many different types of media,

8
00:01:11,599 --> 00:01:14,719
such as images, videos, documents, and presentations,

9
00:01:15,239 --> 00:01:18,019
into a central place for an asynchronous group conversation.

10
00:01:19,060 --> 00:01:22,299
Once you have put your media into VoiceThread, it works like a slideshow.

11
00:01:23,019 --> 00:01:26,560
You can then share this VoiceThread with others by either sending them the link

12
00:01:26,560 --> 00:01:29,540
or embedding it in a webpage, as you might do with a YouTube video.

13
00:01:29,540 --> 00:01:34,540
Those that you share it with can then make comments on any of the content in your VoiceThread at any time.

14
00:01:34,540 --> 00:01:41,540
They can make comments either by microphone, webcam, phone, text, or by uploading an audio file.

15
00:01:41,540 --> 00:01:48,540
These comments then appear in the VoiceThread so that all of those with access can review the comments as well as see who made them.

16
00:01:48,540 --> 00:01:58,799
okay up to here right so what you have to do is just go to your virtual

17
00:01:58,799 --> 00:02:06,719

18
00:02:06,719 --> 00:02:12,740

26
00:03:02,560 --> 00:03:08,379

27
00:03:08,379 --> 00:03:16,479

28
00:03:16,479 --> 00:03:22,419

29
00:03:22,419 --> 00:03:28,780

00:03:50,439 --> 00:04:04,699

their comments right so you have here the pictures right and then on the side

33
00:04:09,620 --> 00:04:16,879

00:04:25,269 --> 00:04:30,310
made you can also comment as well right if you click in here you have the

36
00:04:30,310 --> 00:04:34,829
different ways of commenting either with your microphone with the cam and

37
00:04:34,829 --> 00:04:44,649
uploading your comment or even typing right so let's listen just a bit to the

38
00:04:44,649 --> 00:04:50,350
comments I like the presentation of Alice in Wonderland because it's a story

39
00:04:50,350 --> 00:04:55,750
I like so much a part of the Disney film that it is one of the most I like the

40
00:04:55,750 --> 00:04:59,069
The two books about Tally Wonderland are fantastic.

41
00:04:59,069 --> 00:05:03,750
I didn't read both books at all, but just the most important parts.

42
00:05:03,750 --> 00:05:08,750
The Tim Burton's feel were so interesting because it is a mix of books and not only

43
00:05:08,750 --> 00:05:10,170
the first.

44
00:05:10,170 --> 00:05:15,509
The characters are original and different and the story is full of philosophy aspects.

45
00:05:15,509 --> 00:05:18,250
Okay, this is an example, right?

46
00:05:18,250 --> 00:05:20,870
You have some more, right?

47
00:05:20,870 --> 00:05:22,910
When you have...

48
00:05:22,910 --> 00:05:24,170
Right?

49
00:05:24,170 --> 00:05:26,769
So everyone can comment, there is no limit, right?

50
00:05:32,759 --> 00:05:33,800
Okay, that's it.

51
00:05:34,100 --> 00:05:36,439
I hope you enjoyed and you find it useful.
