Integrating Voice Threads into the Classroom!

I recently discovered a new technology based educational resource that I can use to promote the learning of students.   VoiceThread is a collaborative, multimedia slide show that holds images, documents, and videos and allows people to navigate slides and leave comments in five different ways- using voice (with a mic or telephone), text, audio file, or video (via a webcam). Voicethreads can also be shared with friends, students, and colleagues for them to record comments too. A VoiceThread is a new set of digital story tools. It has great potential in teaching and learning.   I feel that a VoiceThread can be used in the classroom as an alternative means of instruction that promotes simulating and engaging learning activities while integrating technology into the classroom.
