Voicethread.com

Voicethread is a fantastic learning tool!

 * It is simple to use and is a solution to many collaboration problems such as time differences, and access.
 * All voicethreads are completely embeddable. You can whip up a voicethread, slap in a post and let your kids loose.
 * If you don't have a class blog, wiki or site, just bookmark the Voicethread address to your computer or Delicious account.
 * No typing skills required! I big help for little fingers, and minimal computers.
 * The controls are very simple to use. Hit comment and away you go - type it, record it, draw it or if you are lucky enough to have super-speedy internet access, video comment. Made a mistake? Just delete it.
 * Privacy options are available. Set up a password for your class and maintain total anonymity or leave it open to the world.
 * Avatars are easy to add and adjust. Use a photo, draw a picture or use one of the ready made avatars.
 * Free Trial Accounts are available - this allows you access to three free voicethreads.
 * Free Educator Accounts are available on submission, as well as several reasonably priced bulk school accounts.

Voicethread is very good for collaboration, I have embedded four examples below, one of which I was involved with. You can see the authors' information at the end of each Voicethread. media type="custom" key="6771475" media type="custom" key="6771493" media type="custom" key="6771553" media type="custom" key="6771649"
