Voicethread is a site that allows students and teachers to create collaborative multimedia presentations. Voicethread has a free educator account that allows you to create up to 50 presentations with your students. These presentations can include videos, images, documents, and audio elements. Students can comment on other presentations through written responses, voice recordings and/or web cam recordings. Voicethread also allows you to “draw” on the presentation to point out elements of the image or document.

I've seen some AIG teachers do really neat presentations with Voicethread. There's a lot of room for student personal expression.

Voicethread is a great tool and can be utilized in many ways. Loved Bill Ferriter's (6th grade teacher at salem middle) example in the Digitally Speaking Wiki where he was teaching a lesson. There are other great links on the Wiki too!
ReplyDeleteSo this has nothing to do with the classroom, but my family used voicethread with my grandma. We had her voiceover photos (that were scanned in) and tell the story behind the photo.

This would be good for a teacher to possible grade on their presentations/projects if they could write on it.
