For instructors interested in participating in active dialog about experiences, designs and best practices around using VoiceThread for teaching and learning, we have created a new group in Penn State’s Yammer network called “VoiceThread Advocates at PSU”. Our goal is to make this Yammer group the active space for sharing, discussing and exploring opportunities around VoiceThread at Penn State.

Quick Background about Yammer at Penn State
We are employing the exciting new tool at Penn State, Yammer, as the platform for this community of practice. For those not yet familiar, Yammer is Penn State’s official social networking platform. It is currently active in a “soft rollout”, meaning it is fully operational but has not been communicated University-wide just yet. To learn more about it, go to the Yammer at Penn State service website at http://yammer.psu.edu.
