voicethread

In simple terms a voice thread is a way for people to talk around videos, pictures etc. It can hold discussions on one page were people can post there own comments, where people can click on people and here there comments. They can type,upload a your own comments through a microphone, web-cam etc. And personally for me I'm not a big fan of the voice thread it seems kind silly to do it over a computer when in class we could do it hands on and i can show them (my students) how to fix it in person or give them a better detail explanation on it instead of over the computer. So if i was going to use a video i would just go and find the DVD for my class and show that to my students instead of using a voice thread then stop it periodically for the students so they could ask questions or so i could explain it better to them
