Voice+Thread

Voice Thread is a Web 2.0 tool that allows you to speak and draw on a picture, video, or any other file. Visitors can than make comments to your orginal visitation by recording sound or typing in text. Some of the ways you can use it in education are:

Homework Assignments- On the first slide go through the step by step directions to solve a math problem. On the second slide students have to solve the problem explaining the steps.

Artwork- Take pictures of artwork and have students analyze the work.

Information sharing between schools- Take pictures/videos of your school or class and have students from another school do the same. Ask questions, make comments, and share information. This works well for elementary students who will be going into a middle school the next year.

It is free to create an account of up to 4 presentations. You can also purchase a for class set for $60 for the year. Below is the link. Create an account and give it a try. Remember you can upload pictures, video, or an file such as a Word document.
