I know voicethread has been around a while and I signed up a few years ago however I have only just got around to trying one with my students.
I first thought they could use it to discuss the book we were reading. It didn't work as it was taking forever to get through all my kids. So, a rethink and I tried it to reinforce their personal key fact about their topic and thus generate a lot of key facts in one place. It worked! It didn't take long to upload a photo of each child.... you can do them all in one go. Putting no names on theVoice thread makes it safer. Then as their photo came on the screen they said their fact into the mic. I didn't like that after the last slide it went straight to a page where they could click on facebook links etc... To get round this I put in three slides of nothing before the last page so "hiding" that last slide, well sort of!
