Voicethread

Voicethread gives students the opportunity to upload photos in an online environment. The students can then record (video or audio) sharing their knowledge or thoughts about the photos that they are displaying. This Web2.0 tool allows students to share their information to students, parents, and teachers that can be viewed online. This tool also provides the capability of allowing others to comment on the voicethread. (Teachers, Parents, and Students can record audio, video, or text feedback.)

Voicethread also has an APP that can be downloaded on cellphones.

"A VoiceThread project has the potential to differentiate learning by providing a place where students with different learning styles can share their learning. Used as an assessment tool, VoiceThread projects give teachers a bird’s eye view into the thinking of their students, especially students who have difficulty communicating their learning through writing.
