I am so excited about our use of VoiceThread this year.  We have integrated this fabulous tool into several grades and many different curricular areas.
VoiceThread is a collaborative tool that allows you to have a conversation around images, videos and documents, and allows you to comment in five different ways.  Teachers are able to create an educator account which allows for unlimited VoiceThreads.  Students are able to use the tool by logging in as the teacher to create their VoiceThreads.
What is a VoiceThread anyway? gives a good description of what the tools is all about and worth a view.
At Runkle, we’ve completed VoiceThreads in Kindergarten, Grades 1, 3, 5, 7 and 8.  One area that has really benefited from this awesome tool is the Spanish language classroom.  The teacher has found that Voicethread is an excellent way for students to practice and for the teacher to assess their oral language skills.
