Voice+Thread

What is Voice Thread?
Voice Thread is an online multimedia slideshow that can "hold essentially any type of media (images, documents and videos) and allows people to collaboratively make comments in 5 different ways - using voice (with a microphone or telephone), text, audio file, or video (with a webcam) - and share them with anyone they wish. A VoiceThread allows group conversations to be collected and shared in one place, from anywhere in the world"

"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." Above excerpts come from Voicethread 4 Education Wiki and Using Voice Thread for Digital conversations linked below.
