Speaking is faster than typing. You will get more comments this way; and they aren't too tedious to listen to. Nice reporting and tutorial Avi and Alain thank you. Now if I could add this to my blog or Facebook page. Warning: Not Free. Steve.
Comments can be left by voice, text or video. You can even leave a comment on a Voicethread page using your cellphone. Creating an account is free and takes just a few minutes.
A fun break from work, the Road Runner demo: http://voicethread.com/?#u1750039.b21651.i122786 even includes a nice Spanish lesson (click on the left for Antonio's comments )
Variations
Since the initial debate VoiceThread, I have created 20 others. I use VoiceThreads links to:
- Have my students Introduce themselves to all in the class
- Provide them with a Course Tour once they are in the class
- Have students do a oral presentation on the subjects in my class
- Debate and discuss all the issues in my class using their microphone or webcam
