Hello Everyone,
This week I was introduced to a new tool called Voice Thread.
It is a collaboration tool that allows users to upload different media files and
create an interactive presentation. The tool allows users to give feedback
using different mediums such as comments, Video and audio. I found that since VoiceThread
allows users to make comments on specific slides of the presentation it makes
it highly interactive and allows a high
level of collaboration.
I think strictly judging this tool for its interactive ability
it offers a lot more versatility than google docs, as first it allows slide
specific comments and secondary it allows different ways to leave feedback. To begin imagine a scenario when you are part
of a big team working on a presentation to attract a new client. It would make
the presenters life a lot easier if the team gave feedback on specific slides
rather than a generic comment on the overall presentation. The second reason on
why I think the tool is great is because users to use different mediums to
leave feedback. Explaining something by writing can be a challenge but leaving
audio / video messages is great as it makes it much easier to get you point across.
This week I also analyzed a technology use scenario, I selected
to scenario #16 as I that using cell phones while driving is a current issue and
is extremely dangerous.
This week on my Feedly I read an interesting article (click
here) regarding how to be more creative. This article stumped me as ever since I
was young I was taught to think outside the box. However, this article asks me
to do the exact opposite, upon reading the rationale
of the article I am inclined to agree with it. Sticking to the life lessons we
are also taught that everyone is good at something and it that is true than
then forget the outside of the box look within the box and you will find it.
That’s it, everyone,
it is a short blog today as I am swamped with work.
