Are you searching for a way to share documents, presentations, slideshows, or a series of photos or images with your students? Then Voice Thread is the free Web 2.0 tool for you and your students (teachers can register for a free education account). Voice Thread allows you and your students to add audio, video, and text as part of conversations concerning science or math content. Comments can be added using a pre-recorded audio file, microphone, call from a phone, or webcam and microphone. A Voice Thread allows group conversations to be collected and shared in one place, from anywhere in the world. This is great when your class is collaborating on a project with students in another time zone or other locations around the world.

"VoiceThread allows uers to create collaborative, multimedia slide shows that hold images, documents, and videos. Teachers can share VoiceThreads with students, colleagues, or others so they can leave comments. Viewers may leave comments in five ways -- using voice (with a mic or phone), text, audio file, or video (with a webcam). VoiceThreads can be embedded on other websites and exported to MP3 players or DVDs to play as archived video."

"The web has given rise to collaborative storytelling. Collaborative storytelling involves a group where one writer starts the story and others keep on adding threads to it, and thus the story evolves. The imagination of the community gives a digital story a path one wouldn't have thought of at the start. If you are into digital storytelling ideas of any kind, try out these seven websites for a spot of collaborative writing."

This week I've been working with our librarian and our Grade 3 teachers to prepare our students for a skype call with the poet Kenn Nesbitt on Friday. The students are working on the How We Express Ourselves unit of inqury which is focusing on poetry and song.
