Using VoiceThread
VoiceThread is an app that allows you to create interactive slides using audio, video and images. Presenters and audience members can create audio and video recordings while engaging with the content. VoiceThread can be accessed via your THEO 100 Sakai course.
Tips for Creating Slides
Your slides should not be a recitation of your presentation--they reinforce for your audience how you are progressing through the presentation, "introducing" them to your theologian of choice. You may wish to begin with an image (photograph, painting, icon) of your theologian followed by images that connote that person's life and theological contributions.
For example, an image of candles might be used to remind an audience of contemplative prayer. The only text on the slide would read "contemplative prayer" and, combined with the image, simply remind the audience of that moment's topical focus.
Remember to place on each slide or on a single slide at the end a URL for the original source of each featured image.
