VoiceThread allows students to create multimedia, on-line presentations of all subjects, then share them across a network consisting of all learners.  What sets VoiceThread aside from others, is in its allowance of users to actually comment on (via text, audio, even doodling) the presentations, append to them their own thoughts and media, and even change incorrect (think living Wikis) information.

VoiceThreading the Needle

VoiceThread to be the single most powerful and beneficial web 2.0 site and technology for students and teachers to use.

In my AP US History course, each student has been invited to annotate every past presentation in a collective effort to review the entire semester. Press the big PLAY button to see a demonstration using real student comments.

In two of my classes, I am using a tool called VoiceThread in two different ways. VoiceThread allows anyone to post presentations or slides online for others to view and/or add comments. Remember VH1's "Pop-Up Video"? The added comments are "pop-up" annotations created by any or all of these methods:typingrecording your voice with your computerrecording your voice with your phoneuploading pre-recorded audiorecording video via webcam
