Reflection of voice thread with powerpoint presentation

This unit was based on adding voice threads to our power point presentations and posting them on our wiki. Making our presentations was pretty simple the power points are about the "Pros of Multiple Intelligences" and "Do differences make us stronger?". Uploading them to the voice thread website was easy too but the recording took some time for me , because I kept messing up and had to start recording all over again.After I finished recording it was still kind of confusing because i wasn't sure how you copy it to my wiki but after the teacher helped me a little I got the hang of it.After that everything was a breeze I got the presentations posted on wiki with voice thread.



Overall this unit I learned about multiple intelligences , how to make a voice thread along the power point and posting the power point with the voice thread on my wiki
