The article, VoiceThreads: Extending the Classroom with Multimedia Albums, appeared in an online Edutopia publication in 2008. As many of you are aware, Edutopia is funded by the George Lucas Educational Foundation, an organization dedicated to further the use of technology in education. The article offers practical advice to teachers planning a Voicethread ... start small is the first step. Teachers are encouraged to experiment with the free version of VoiceThread and then expand into the paid version with the secure storage technology. The developers of VoiceThread are quoted on their goals with the technology. This service was developed to be extremely flexible ... allowing a voice contribution via telephone, for example, if the contributor does not have a computer microphone. The article also contains working links to internet resources on creating VoiceThreads including a wiki, and TeacherTube videos of actual VoiceThreads. I think it would be helpful to read this article (linked below) and review some of the samples and resources available before starting our own VoiceThreads.
