VoiceThread
VoiceThread is a web tool that is essentially an online media album that can contain still images, video, and documents. Visitors can comment on the VoiceThread media through voice, text, video, and doodling. Conversations are held in one place for visitors to see. A VoiceThread can be embeded into a wiki or blog, so parents can see student's work easily. Not only is this a useful tool for digital storytelling, but for assessment, research, feedback, critical thinking, etc. The possibilities are endless.
