Voicethread

This is probably my most favvvvorite tool on the web. It can be used throughout the content areas and is an authentic assessment tool that levels the playing field for nonwriters. Students speak freely to explain their answers, take risks in their word choice, and have the rare opportunity to truly show what they know in a less formal but more enriching way.

The creator posts images and opens discussion. The students log in and provide their feedback or thoughts on the topic as they advance through the pages of the Voicethread. They may simply use their words, or they may emphasize their point by using the "doodle" feature and draw on top of the image.

Once you make a Voicethread, feel free to share with anyone on the web! The __Maybelle in the Soup__ Voicethread was made by a friend of mine who works at another campus. One of my students participated in her Voicethread!

For student anonymity, you can use any image (I chose to use student numbers since I will use their feedback as an assessment) uploaded to the program.
