VoiceThread

www.voicethread.com A VoiceThread is a tool that can hold any type of media (images, documents and videos) and allows people to make comments using voice, text, audio or video. A VoiceThread allows group conversations to be collected and shared in one place, from anywhere in the world. They can also be embedded on your website. Class VoiceThreads can be created to share work or information. Individuals can also create VoiceThreads. The best VoiceThreads are those that get people involved! Collaboration is key!

 * Notes: **
 * If you use the pen to write or draw while you comment, it will fade away as you go. If you click the color of the pen and then click on the I in the middle then the writing will not fade away.
 * You are now able to search creative commons images within the site and import from flickr. The link to the original web address is automatically placed with the picture. Love this feature!
 * You can now reorder the comments. You mouse over the comment section and hold down the shift key. Then click and drag that comment to another position.
 * When doing a class Voicethread, you can have each student create an avatar for themselves. They could draw a picture of something about themselves or a small self portrait. You can add identities in your account so that their avatar shows when they are commenting.
