What is a Voicethread?

 

Voicethread is an asynchronous discussion tool that easily allows for users to record audio and add text to images collaboratively. 

 

How does it work?

 

In short, the creator of a Voicethread uploads media  (video, pictures, or documents) to the Voicethread website and then threads the media together via a commenting function.  Others can also be invited to join the conversation by viewing the media slides and adding their own comments.

 

Why use Voicethread?

  • Dramatically change the way you and your students engage with media
  • Re-envision lectures
  • Commenting function via multiple avenues reaches a variety of learners
  • Ability to integrate pictures, video, and audio
