I learned about this fun, very motivating site from Christine Southard’s Blog- thanks Christine! Voice Thread is an online media album that can hold essentially any type of media allowing you to share them with anyone. Voice Thread allows group conversations to be collected and shared in one place from anywhere in the world. There is also Ed.Voice Thread specifically designed for K-12 students and educators. There is a $10 one time activation fee if you want to use it in your classroom.
I have been using Voice Thread with my students since last week with some very impressive success. My students are enjoying the recording feature – as they say “listen to me in the computer”– not to mention that they love seeing their pictures on the SMART Board! We started a history unit on the American Revolution- specifically George Washington- and they have been eagerly recording their thoughts and what they have learned about our first President. If you want to see a great example of Voice Thread being incorporated into a classroom check out Christine’s Blog–she shares a Voice Thread she created with her students.
