What Is VoiceThread?
VoiceThread is a web-based, interactive collaboration and storytelling tool that allows users to compile a variety of media such as images, videos, audio clips, presentations, and documents into a presentation. With VoiceThread, conversations may take place in real-time or asynchronously through contributed comments made by microphone, text, webcam video, or uploaded audio/video files. Think of VoiceThread as an interactive PowerPoint presentation in which discussions can be had over the content of each slide.
