VoiceThread is a new internet application for me. Quite frankly, I'm very impressed by what it offers and its potential for application in a K-12 educational setting. Voice thread allows you to post photos, drawings, videos, and all associated thoughts in a single interactive and easily accessible place. As a future teacher I can see VoiceThread being easily used in a classroom. VoiceThread can be a means by which a teacher can prepare a multimedia rich lesson in advance. This would also be beneficial for substitute planning. If a teacher used VoiceThread and had a number of projects already created, it would be easy for a substitute to use those threads to help teach the class. VoiceThreads are a great potential means for students to culminate and present a project. The vast connectivity inherent in VoiceThread is one of the nicest features. Students could easily show their parents their work, comment on each others' work, or collaborate with another group of students anywhere in the world. Continuing in this connectivity vein, VoiceThread would be a great way to communicate with parents, other teachers, and the community. VoiceThread has immense potential and can really be used in any way imaginable.
