VoiceThread Project

Another enlightening technological tool for educators...I never knew this was out there. VoiceThread can be used as an online discussion with students. One to four photos can be posted with discussion by the teacher and any assignment. When you create and upload the picture(s), the teacher can give general comments about what the pictures represent and what the students should gain from this. As I was watching and listening, my first thoughts were Bull Island before and after Hugo or Garden City before and after Hugo or Myrtle Beach before and after Hurricane Hazel, just to name a few. It can be used almost like a SmartBoard, it seems. There is a highlighter that the instructor can point out certain areas and highlight. Comments can be made either by audio recording, web cam, or keyboarding. Very cool.
