VoiceThread





Here is a link to the Voice Thread About Page.
 * Brief Introduction to Tool:** Voice Thread is a great collaborative tool that allows people anywhere with access to the internet to post videos, pictures, recordings onto a common forum style board. This allows for great group collaboration or discussions about a topic. Classmates can make posts, as well as leave feedback and comments on what was just posted. Students can also make doodles to help affirm their point, or just to help add a little more focus to specific details. From the teacher's standpoint they are capable of picking and choosing which comments are viewable and by who. Once the discussions are completed, they are able to be exported as an audio or video file so you can watch or review the discussion at any time.

**Advantages**

 * Anything in digital form that is shared via the internet is a great advantage. This opens up all accessibility from virtually anywhere.
 * The fact that you have so many tools while using Voicethread, it is easy to figure out how to post, as well as post something and explain it using things such as the pen tool, or the ability to post images as well as video.
 * A great way to document activities held in classroom with actual voice memories. Voices can capture emotion and feelings where the written word cannot.
 * Working with relevant pictures, posting voice and text comments and working together as groups all available.

**Limitations**

 * To use all features you have to pay.
 * Sometimes the digital gap is not necessary to collaborate, and being split apart by computers may not be helpful.
