This student introductory activity requires you to use VoiceThread, an online sharing/voice/video capture tool that we'll be using throughout the semester. Watch the video and/or follow the instructions below to complete this activity. If you have any questions about VoiceThread you can reach out to Ryan Bernstein (rbernstein@nmc.edu or 995-1974). Worth 20 points.

Step 1: Log into VoiceThread

A few students in this course have used VoiceThread for other courses. If that's you, you've been invited to join the Fall 19 PHL122 Online Group. Log into VoiceThread using the button below and accept the invitation to join the group. You should have also received an email from VoiceThread asking you to accept the invitation.

Most students in the course have not used VoiceThread in the past. If that's you, click the button below to login. Login using your NMC email address and the password PHL122. You'll be prompted to change your password after you login the first time. Remember your password; you'll use it several times this term.

Step 2: Go to the Fall 2019 PHL122 Online VoiceThread Group

You've already been added to the "Fall 2019 PHL122 Online" group in VoiceThread. To go to the group, log into VoiceThread, click on the arrow icon in the left hand margin of the screen and click on PHL122 VoiceThread. 

View your groups and open the Fall 19 PHL122 group.
