Be Fit With Biray

I’m always interested in how health instructors use web 2.0 technologies to educate about physical fitness and exercise. Here’s what I found on VoiceThread, an application where you can upload your pictures and let everyone make comments on it via text, flix, or audio.

This is how a health instructor used it to explain aerobic fitness:

It’s rather simple, but sparks ideas. VoiceThread allows the user to have multiple ‘personalities’ (hence the same voice w/ different character profiles). I haven’t figured out how I would apply it to my health course or use it with my fitness participants. I’ll need to find multiple applications before implementing it with my students or clients. Also, the free features have their limitations - you may have to upgrade to a $$ pro account to access all the features.
