VOICETHREAD

VoiceThread is an awesome free online tool for creating conversations in the cloud.  A version in which you have no administrative control is free.  This means that you can not edit nor delette comments.  So I have chosen to use the paid version.  It is approximately $200 per year and would give you enough accounts for the entire faculty.  It would also give you the choice of allowing a comment to be posted or not.  But I'll have to say in the years that I've used VoiceThread I've never had to delette a comment for being inappropriate.

Here are a couple of examples.

This VoiceThread was done by my Arts and Technology class. They used the website PicLits to create a six word story like American author Ernest Hemmingway. But that wasn't all. Then the students had to post comments about their peers' work.


The last time I checked this VoiceThread had been viewed 17,314 times with a total of 180 comments.


Do you think VoiceThread could be used at your school? If so, how?

Let's look at a VoiceThread that I created just for today.

Click on the pause button and then either record or type in your response.  That's all there is to it.

Want to see a VoiceThread that one of my advanced Arts and Technology students did?  She wrote the story, took all the photos and editing them as well.
