What is VoiceThread??

Collaborating with peers and reflecting on work are two very important skills that kids should be practicing daily in the classroom, but in actuality, it doesn't happen as often as it should.

VoiceThread can change that!  It is a great tool that allows students and teachers to utilize a wide variety of media in order to collaborate, demonstrate understanding and reflect on their learning.  There is no software to install, because it's a completely web-based tool.  In simple terms VoiceThread is a multimedia slideshow that allows anyone with the link, anywhere in the world, to collaborate!

Once a VoiceThread is created, collaboration becomes possible when the creator shares the link.  The audience can comment through the use of text, video, audio and doodling on the actual presentation.

It's very easy to get started. Just create a free account and you can begin uploading documents, images, and videos to create your first VoiceThread!

Below are a couple of examples of how VoiceThread can be used in your classroom:
