Blog Entry #5 - Presenting VoiceThread to My Staff

At our last faculty meeting, my principal asked the four teachers that are pursuing their Instructional Technology degree to present something we have learned in our classes so far. Since we had just completed our VoiceThread examples we started with this information. No one in the room had ever heard of the program. I got the impression that a few liked it, but many seemed overwhelmed by it. We are very limited with technology in our building so many teachers still believe that if they touch the computer that they will break it. Our brief description and presentation was enough to stir interest, but no one has yet to ask if more information would be presented later. I feel to implement more programs of this type that we are going to need to hone in on the few teachers that seemed interested and properly train them. Then maybe the enthusiasm for programs like this one will grow.
