Voice thread is an interesting and powerful tool.
The fact that we can write a comment as well as record our voice on the slide make the voice thread powerful and different from other types of slide show tools.
I plan to use it in my classroom. It seems great tool to promote multi modality. Also, using vocie thread would be authentic and interesting task for students.
In addition, Voice thread seems great as an holistic and alternative assessment in the language classroom. When students use this tool, students need to know how to search for the right pictures, organize it under their main theme, write down the key comments to represent their thought on the picture, and explain it in oral.
I LOVE it!!
However, there is one thing I could not figure out with Voice thread. I could not export the slide show that I made on Flikr to the Voice Thread. Can anyone explain it for me?
I made a slide show with photos of Korea. I used to make a powerpoint slide show to introduce Korean four seasons in my classroom. From now on, I will use Voice thread.

Hi. I want to learn more about your Voice Thread. Come see my blog and see my stuff too.
Did you add more "voice-overs" later on? There was only one audio comment by you.
I can see VoiceThread being very important in a SL classroom. Anything which gets the students to think, and write, and speak in the language they are learning is important!
As for importing from Flickr to VoiceThread, you cannot import an entire slide show, I don't think. Also, you can't import photos from Flickr unless they're your own. If the photos belong to someone else, you need to save them first, to your desktop, and then upload them to VoiceThread.
