VoiceThread is free open source software that allows you to record voice with pictures or input text. It can be used for digital storytelling or to collect audio comments on a topic.
You can publish VoiceThread on a Blog and share it with as many people as you wish.
Our English class has set one up for topics we are studying and a book review. Take a look at the beginnings of a voice thread about the environment. Students created the digital poster and are researching different sub topics , recording their findings with questions for discussion. We are also using it for book reviews. Take a tour of what our students are doing and look at Voicethread examples that K1- 12 teachers are doing on the Voicethread site – remember click the tab ” classrooms”.
