I think that both tools are really good because they have different
options that we can use in order to develop a different class for our students.
I can say that in my case at the beginning they represented a headache because
I had never worked with these kind of tools, so it was really difficult for me
to develop my tasks. But once you learn how to use them, they are an advantage
because you can present a new experience to your students. They can enjoy using these kind of programs
as long as you bring clearly instructions on how to use them.
In my opinion about Voicethread I have to say that I really enjoyed
using this program because it brings a variety of options that you can use in
order to share a topic, an opinion or a story through audio, images, videos or
text. Also another important option is
that allows you to make it public or just for a closed group. They can comment or
give their opinion using the option they prefer to use for example they have
the option to record their voice, a video or just typing. I think it would be a great tool for us as future teachers
to incorporate this kind of technology
to make learning interesting and fun for our students.
Regarding Voxopop I found
that is a useful tool but as in Voicethread you have to know how to use it
because in my special case I continue having some doubts about how to use it
even though I think Voxopop is a good way to generate in students
more speaking opportunities.
It's good to know that you got to manage the tools in the end, some people are very skeptical with them. I invite you to keep on using them because that is the purpose.
