Information from the VoiceThread Page
====A [|VoiceThread] is an online media album that allows a group of people to make comments on images, videos, and documents, really simply. You can add to a VoiceThread 5 different ways - using your voice (with a microphone or telephone), text, audio file, or video (with a webcam). It's easy to control who can access and comment on a VoiceThread, which makes it a secure place to talk about almost anything: students' stories, photos or artwork, travelogues, family history, art critiques, language study, tutorials, book clubs and digital storytelling. A VoiceThread allows an entire group conversation to be collected from anywhere in the world and then shared in one simple place. [|What is a VoiceThread anyway?]====
