Voicethread

I've made a short voicethread to gain a better understanding of how it works. It is only a very basic creation consisting of a photo I took of Churchill statue, while I was on holiday in the UK.

This educational tool seems very versatile in it's application. It can be set up like a text book, with facts and figures spread about the page, or like an open ended forum with comments made from people all around the world, like a giant share space of information. It uses pictures and audio programs, good for engaging students in using different programs to get there message across. i.e typing using a microphone.
I particularly like the potential use for teaching a different language (voicethread, 2009). The ability to edit and screen comments is also good for monitoring what information is worth keeping and presenting to others.
