VoiceThreads have been increasingly natural parts of the classroom interaction. VoiceThread is also known “group audio blog”. It is a helpful tool to students and teachers for their teaching/learning purposes. It is a free site in which students and teachers can upload almost any digital media such as photos, images, documents, powerpoint presentations, etc. When these are uploaded, they can be shared online. I think this is one of the best features of using VoiceThread. Everyone can move between these pages and make comments on them in 5 different ways by using voice (microphone or telephone), text, audio file, or video. The set up is easy and quick. It doesn’t require any special software programming. VoiceThread supports PDF, Microsoft Word, Excel, and PowerPoint (including Office 2007 formats), images, and videos. This is also nice because no one has difficulty with opening anything uploaded. The things in the VoiceThread can be labeled with titles and web links, so users can go directly to these pages. Because of its many positive aspects, VoiceThread becomes very beneficial tool in education as well. Students can use and improve their many skills: speaking, listening, writing, reading. They interact with and learn from each other. All of these characteristics make the use of VoiceThread in education setting valuable.
I agree with Derya, we can use VoiseThreads in education in a successful way. It is an enjoyable tool to use. It is also user friendly, no one may have difficulty in using it. It would be very enjoyable for students to use it to improve themselves in terms of speaking, writing, etc.
It can really help students develop their pronunciation and speaking since it enable them to hear something and also using it isn't so much complicated that students can easily learn ad use it and also my thanks go to Derya for the information she gave us:D
