Voicethread.com is a great site for educational purposes. According to the Website,
- A VoiceThread is a collaborative, multimedia slide show that holds images, documents, and videos and allows people to leave comments in 5 ways - using voice (with a mic or phone), text, audio file, or video (via a webcam). Share a VoiceThread with friends, students, and colleagues for them to record comments too.
- Users can doodle while commenting, use multiple identities and pick which comments are shown through moderation. VoiceThreads can even be embedded on web sites and exported to MP3 players or DVDs as archival movies.
- With VoiceThread, group conversations are collected and shared in one place from anywhere in the world. All with no software to install (Voicethread, 2009).
As you view this screencast, think of ways you could use this Web tool in your classroom. One teacher featured in this voicethread has used it in her Isreali classroom to communicate with a sixth grader in the U.S.
Another teacher used Voicethread.com to display her kindergarten artwork. Her students recorded a poem to go with each piece of art using the audio microphone recording feature.
