=Voicethread- slideshows for students= What it is: //With VoiceThread, group conversations are collected and shared in one place from anywhere in the world. All with **no software to install**.// //A VoiceThread is a collaborative, multimedia slide show that holds images, documents, and videos and allows people to navigate slides and leave comments in 5 ways - using voice (with a mic or telephone), text, audio file, or video (via a webcam). Share a VoiceThread with friends, students, and colleagues for them to record comments too.// //Users can doodle while commenting, use multiple identities, and pick which comments are shown through moderation. VoiceThreads can even be embedded to show and receive comments on other websites and exported to MP3 players or DVDs to play as archival movies.//

This is a program that's really designed for K-12 students or other large groups. You upload pictures, then you give them a title and type or record your comments about the picture. If you change the settings, other people can comment on your voicethread too. Or you could respond to yourself using a different identity. I've used this since second grade for math projects. The site can be prone to error occasionally, especially if you have a lot of people signed in under the same login all at once. But the voicethreads themselves work very well. The site is easy to navigate. One of my favorite features is the one that allows you to delete one recording, even if you made it along with another one. The pieces aren't connected, so that you can delete one piece while keeping the rest. Not my favorite site, but then, I've never really been into the online social scene. And this site is all about the community.

This is an example slideshow I made. media type="custom" key="12052023" The text on the first slide says: This is Thecadactylus rapicauda, the Turnip Tail Gecko.

This is a really good youtube tutorial I found. Enjoy! media type="youtube" key="sPq6kZzBsmY" height="315" width="560"
