Below are some other examples of VoiceThreads to demonstrate more uses for the application.
VoiceThread is a free Web 2.0 application, but you can subscribe for higher levels to obtain more accessibility and features.
The site also offers an educator’s account that allows special access to a limited number of related accounts (private and protected) so that a class of students can interact without having to sign up with individual emails.
Imagine the rich possibility of discussions when students become participants in an online forum as visual and interactive as this!
Other Examples:
Transition project from Year 6 to Year 7 involving schools from the UK, Australia and Thailand. Teacher Steve Kirkpatrick:
Meg Swecker uses VoiceThread to connect her students’ questions with her scuba diving trips. You can find more examples than this one on her website, Giant Stride, on her “Ocean VoiceThread” post.
VoiceThread is also useful for staff development and to encourage online Professional Learning Networking, not just within a district, but regionally, nationally, or globally.
