5. Talk and Share. Using tools for facilitating asynchronous discussions or
creating videos or other animations are some of the best ways to promote
student voice and to encourage students to share their thinking and their
learning with others. Keep in mind potential issues with student access
to the right devices and offer multiple options so students can choose
what they need. Such tools as Animoto (animoto.com) for short videos,
GoSoapBox (gosoapbox.com), Socrative (socrative.com), or VoiceThread
(voicethread.com) encourage students to share ideas and respond in
either written format or post a video (FIGURES 4.14 and 4.15). With Wakelet
(wakelet.com) and similar tools, students can add resources, upload a video
response, and curate all materials in one space (FIGURE 4.16).
