Shanghai Cricket Market VoiceThread

I created and published a short VoiceThread this evening I titled “Shanghai Cricket Market.”

Apparently crickets have both a lucky/superstitious value for many Chinese people living in Shanghai, as well as a “sporting” value for gambling. We learned a lot more about crickets and saw all different sizes in this Shanghai Cricket Market when my wife and I were there for the Learning 2.0 Conference last month.

I hope to make several more VoiceThreads using the 400+ images we took in Shanghai and posted to Flickr in the weeks ahead. Please feel free to add your comments, questions, and feedback to this VoiceThread!

I was excited to learn this evening, before I created this latest VoiceThread, that a NEW and even better / more powerful version of VoiceThread is being released on October 12th! Bar the door! Let the digital storytelling continue! :-)

    Wesley, a great illustration of the power of VoiceThread.
    There is nothing better than examples to help teachers to explore digital storytelling to improve educational outcomes for students. I am trying to provide a range of examples of digital stories that use different technologies on my Squidoo lens. I will add your VoiceThread as another illustration. Thanks for the informative story that gives another insight into Chinese culture and digital storytelling.

    Thank you for these VoiceThreads. I’ve shown my children and family. You really have a knack for sharing what you’ve seen. It shows how compelling a VoiceThread can be. My fifth and seventh graders just wanted to hover around and look and listen.
