I agree with you that maybe that did turn some people off, such a shame because I think it is such a fun tool. Funny that I find voice recording easier to coordinate my thoughts nowadays as I tend to ponder too long over the written text, I have even started using the voice recorder on my mobile phone, which is about 5 yrs old.Thanks so much for your participation and insight I look forward to keeping in touch via your blog. From now on I will be posting from my other blog Kim's thinking [http://kimsthinking.blogspot.com/]Kim Mchttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13759781331141217460noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7046206307202688950.post-41628245130559119972010-11-18T13:18:26.938-08:002010-11-18T13:18:26.938-08:00Hello Kim
Thank you very much for doing something...Hello Kim<br /><br />Thank you very much for doing something different for the mini conference and introducing us to another way of communicating. I appreciate your frustration with the lack of people engaging with the VT, but you must remember the 1% rule...to get one active participant, you need to reach 100 people. <br /><br />I do agree with Karen...that the technology might have been a tad scary despite your great video that showed us how to use the VT. Maybve it would have helped if you embedded your VT in your blog. <br /><br />The other thing it might be worth reflecting on is the topic of the conversation...did it need to be controversial, for example? I think you need to think about how you sell this to people...why should they take part? What is the value to them? What will they get out of it?<br /><br />You might be interested in how Meena facilitated her asynchronous event last year: http://meenaadhikari.blogspot.com/2009_11_01_archive.html<br /><br />Thank you once again, Kim. It has been lovely getting to know you. I have really appreciated your participation and engagement which is what makes a course like this successful.<br /><br />cheers Sarah :)Sarah Stewarthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00480597227427423793noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7046206307202688950.post-46647881447554579462010-11-18T07:53:39.558-08:002010-11-18T07:53:39.558-08:00I appreciated the opportunity to try out Voice Thr...I appreciated the opportunity to try out Voice Thread Kim. For me I found it a bit of a mental hurdle to get over the idea of recording my voice. Perhaps that also prevented others from participating? In the end - as with many new things, the actual experience was way easier than the anticipation. I was uncertain about the volumne level of my recording but ran out of time to redo it. As a tool it is more time consuming than straight text. Thank you for showing the way.Karen Humberhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16624838483283423092noreply@blogger.com
