A great way to combine Powerpoint and video - kind of a dual presentation. [Downside for me - doesn't handle Chinese]. Great tool for combining two already powerful presentation tools, either for teacher use or for student use.

This is a PPT presentation that walks you through how to record with audacity. While users must download this program, using Audacity to record audio can work as an alternative to commenting directly onto a VoiceThread. Using Audacity, students can create mp3 files, save them to their computer, send the files to their teacher, or upload the file as a VoiceThread comment.

One of the best tools that I know of for use in teaching foreign language. Very flexible. Use it to teach new content, to let students practice listening and/or speaking, for student projects, to collect native speakers comments etc. Note that there are two versions: Voicethread and Ed Voicethread. Ed requires a school account, but provides an added measure of security and functionality in terms of classes (well worth it)

MSU's Center for Language Education and Research (CLEAR) has created this free resource. I haven't used it as a teacher yet, but one of my French classes used this for speaking presentations. If I remember correctly, students entered in a classroom ID and then made recordings.

Probably similar to Digitales, students create a slideshow and can add text. No voice recording possible, but something to explore all the same.
