As I’m presenting at a British council conference in Madrid this weekend, I’ve been researching Voki and Voicethread and uses thereof.
I’ll post my presentation and notes etc after the event, but this particular Voicethread made by Silvia Tolisano aka Langwitches came to mind and I thought I’d share it now as I think it’s genius!
Basically, there are many photos contributed by people from around the world of something that is particular to their country – could be a tradition, a habit, a routine, a custom – in order to promote intercultural dialogue about our similarities and differences. People are invited to contribute – see the whatcoulditmean wiki for details – by uploading photographs and also by surmising what the photos might mean!
A simple idea but great fun and thought provoking too.
