  I still have doubts about this aspect. Most of my students prefer to be taught grammar and vocabulary in class rather by themselves with a computer. Once again how much can we offer them though online and how much should we explain this in class?

Teachers can keep VoiceThreads private or publish them, either on the VoiceThread site or embedded on their own sites. Participants can post from anywhere, at any time, making it easy to involve groups in disparate time zones, or even different countries, in a single conversation.
