I’ve been introduced to VoiceThread by Susan Burwash here at the University of Alberta. This is an online media album that can hold essentially any type of media (images, documents and videos) and allows people to 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.

You could use voicethread as a teacher in Higher Ed OR as an OT working with kids, teens or adults to tell their stories, improve digital literacy, find an alternative to typing or to enhance the classroom experience.
