Have you tried Voicethread?

I’m working on an agenda of workshops for the rest of the school year. One tool that I’d like to get teachers excited about is Voicethread. I’ve now seen it used in a number of ways with a variety of grade levels and it seems that it can be a tool that can be added just about anywhere. I’ve been reading about many teachers using Voicethread successfully (and enthusiastically) with their students:

This post using Voicethread’s commenting feature to gather ideas on how to use Voicethread

I think the classroom opportunities are endless:

• In Lower School, classes can use Voicethread with their own class pictures to create a audio/visual newsletter. Especially in the younger grades where students cannot write yet, this would be a great tool for the kids to use in order to better express themselves.
• In Science classes, students could use Voicethread to document an experiment – a kind of visual lab report.
• In Math, students could use Voicethread to narrate their way through solving a math problem in order to demonstrate their understanding.
• In English class, they can put original poems or short stories to pictures.
• In Art class, Voicethread can be use a tool to reflect on their work.
• In Foreign Language, kids can create stories or tours using Flickr images and narrate them in their language.
• In History, they could use use flickr images in a digital narration of a historical event.

I am looking forward to teaching some teachers about this wonderful tool and getting some kids excited about using it.  What are some ways you are using it?
