**VoiceThread**
Voice thread : [] VoiceThread is a web 2.0 website site that anyone can use to “Communicate, Collaborate, and Connect” to others. It is a web-based digital-storytelling application that is available to share stories with text, video, and audio. The website is very user-friendly. VoiceThread is used by elementary students through students at the university level. This site is both easy and fun for the teacher and the student to use. For the site, one uses voice, video and or text to communicate their ideas. VoiceThread does not have any software to install. Everything is created on the website and all the data is stored by way of cloud storage which means the videos will not take up room on your computer. After creating a VoiceThread for your group of students, you can keep your VoiceThread private or you can share with other students using the site or with the entire world. It is your decision. When visitors come to the site, if the creator shared the VoiceThread, they can comment on the stories with either a microphone, text, audio or video file. Although I hear my student’s voices everyday in class, hearing their tiny voices on the recordings is heart-warming. I love to hear the students that are so shy in class, yet are so creative when they record their reactions to the images. The VoiceThread I am going to show you is the first time I used the site and the first time the students used the site.
