Since all of our students have Chromebooks, once they log into their device they are already logged into their Google Apps account and clicking on VoiceThread from the MORE menu does not require any additional authentication. Single sign on is a beautiful thing!
So, what is VoiceThread anyway? Basically, it's an online tool that allows you to upload many different types of media, such as images, videos, documents, and presentations into an online format that allows for group conversations. Those you share your VoiceThreads with can leave comments via text, audio recording, webcam, and even text messages. In addition, the doodle feature allows those making comments to draw directly on the media. For more into, play the embedded VoiceThread below.

I'd love to hear more about how VoiceThread is being used both here at Leyden and at other schools. Please comment on this post to share your VoiceThread enhanced activities.
