Voice+Threads

=[|Voice Threads]= VoiceThread is a collaborative, multimedia slide show that holds images, documents, and videos and allows people to leave comments in 5 ways - using voice (with a mic or phone), text, audio file, or video (via a webcam). Share a VoiceThread with friends, students, and colleagues for them to record comments too. Users can doodle while commenting, use multiple identities and pick which comments are shown through moderation. VoiceThreads can even be embedded on web sites and exported to MP3 players or DVDs as archival movies. With VoiceThread, group conversations are collected and shared in one place from anywhere in the world. All with **no software to install**. [|About Voice Threads]

All participants have been registered with a free K-12 educator account. Your password is NewPass until you change it. Let your imaginations run wild. Can you image students commenting on a group of science photos or math students using the "Doodling" to comment on how to solve a math problem?

One VoiceThread account can have many identities (commenting avatars) associated with it. You will need to enter each of your students as an identity under your account. With your login students can use their identity to comment on-the-fly without having to sign in with a different account. Think 22 kids, 45 minutes, and a project to complete - and you'll understand the wonder. Let your students create their own avatar that reflects their personality. They can draw and digitize with your document camera, use [|Drawing with MS Paint.doc], or a digital picture and program like [|Picture Shrink], or an on-line program like [|Dopple Me] to create their own avatar.
