Voicethread

I tried out a neat website, Voicethread, with my students. It allows users to record their voice to accompany pictures, slideshows, etc. I had a couple of students "narrate" the stories they had written (one actually did a PowerPoint). They absolutely loved it! The girls giggled upon hearing their voices as we shared their stories with the class. And the rest of the class thought it was "so cool!" I also posted the links on our classroom blog for our parents to enjoy. I've also seen Voicethread used to tell about how to make a Vocabulary Map. Check that out here. It really is an invaluable tool.
