I had the chance to see one of our classmates use this technology with a teacher in Taipei for fostering English language skills. The students were asked to plan a trip to a foreign country, including how they were going to get there, their travel plans, lodging, and potential problems they would face. They were asked to solve those problems and make a conclusion for their presentation. They presented in groups of two, using pictures from the internet and recording their voices for each slide. I listened to each presentation and provided detailed written feedback in terms of vocabulary, pronunciation, fluency, comprehension, and grammar. The teacher said that the students were excited and encouraged to have this kind of feedback and worked hard to finish their project and make recommended improvements. Their motivation and attitude of the project were both good. However, the authenticity of the final product was somewhat limited by the fact that their Voicethreads were private, for privacy concerns. Nevertheless, I see the benefit from this activity and hope that the example provides some insight.

shared by 伊真鄭 on 08 Jun 10 - Cached

it's pretty clear that Google Wave is the online giant's social networking play, an attempt to wrestle away some usage share from services like Twitter and Facebook, obviously, but also with Microsoft's surprisingly popular SharePoint.

Waves can consist of any combination conversations (such as email and IM) and documents (collaboration). They provide for rich interaction via text, photos, videos, maps, and more, according to Google. From a usage standpoint, a wave is sort of like an email thread except that it can happen in real time (like IM), is always considered live, and participants can jump in and out of the conversation at any time. A playback capability allows participants to "rewind" the wave at any point and review what's already happened. Edits can be made to any part of the wave at any time, and it's always possible to see who did what. If you think of how an email thread and an IM conversation might be combined into a single entity, that's pretty much a wave.

It features a multi-pane ("panel" to Google) interface with Navigation ("folders" like Inbox) and Contacts panes on the left, the selected folder in the middle (like Inbox, which Google calls the Search panel), and, on the right, the selected wave (the message, in an email application).
