I have to be honest and say that both online tools are perfect to start a discussion on any topic. Nevertheless if I had to pick, I pick to use voicethread instead of voxopop. And why is that?
Well, first of all while using VOICETHREAD I had no problem recording, unlike VOXOPOP that made me deal several times with Java Script 7 to be able to use a very, very simple sound recorder.
Voicethread has more options when it comes to leave a comment, I can either text or record a message as a respond. As well I have to mention the fact that in Voicethread I get to decide where do I want the comment if at the beggining or at the end, I can even stop the video to point facts out!
IT IS GREAT, for the lack of a better word!
And so for and so on... the graphics, the colours and how the icons are arranged making the wepage more appealing just boosts up the liking of each and everyone of us. Voxopop is a lot more simple and a lot less attractive.
If I were to use it for inside the classroom, I would open a debate on a certain topic. Not just opinions but statements based on facts. I would use it to make them perform certain act for example, a survey. I would ask them to go out and interview the public to gather real information to address the issue that is being talked about. These are a few of my ideas on how to use this tool inside the classroom.
