VoiceThread

Hello Fellow Bloggers,

‘Participation is not optional’

A VoiceThread allows every student in a class to easily record audio
commentary about the ideas and experiences that are important to them.
Whether it’s an event, a project, or a milestone, students can tell their story in
their own voice,and then share it with the world (VoiceThread, 2009.)

VoiceThread allows teachers and students to create in-depth discussions around image/s through a number of ways of communication. Students' comments can be uploaded in various ways such as by microphone, telephone, typing it in (text), uploading what you have written in a word doc or pre-recorded, and webcam (VoiceThread, 2009.)

Teachers and students can preview and edit what has been recorded before publishing it. Students can also comment on images to bring attention to a certain point/part. This tool can be used to share students' ideas with people and experts from around the world which promotes collobarative learning and social interaction (VoiceThread, 2009.)

VoiceThread.com is a web-based communications network for K-12 students and educators within an accountable environment where all users on the network are known users, responsible for their content and behaviour. Restricted to K-12 educators, students and administrators, all content is created or vetted by registered members of the community (VoiceThread, 2009.)
