Voice Thread in the Classroom,

This was the first time using Voice Thread. The accessibility and format is extremely easy to use. In fact, I did not encounter any problems with Voice Threading. I practiced with pictures that I already have stored on my computer. Next , I used pictures from pic search to create a Voice Thread about a problem in education. When the assignment was complete, I responded to other student's Voice Threads, which was another easy task. On this Voice Thread I used only the text device. Next time, I would like to use the audio device. I am hoping that Voice Thread is not blocked at my school.
I was thinking that this would be a great tool for students to construct a Voice Thread on a specific event in history,a famous person, invention, unsolved problem. The students could create a Voice Thread from a different point of view. Allowing the students to respond to each other is a great way to have peer feedback. The Voice Thread could be a collaborative project on various topics. The students are thinking at a higher level by analyzing, synthesizing and evaluating pertinent information.
