Hear that talking? It’s a Voicethread

February 8, 2008

Have you ever heard of a voicethread? If not then if you sign up and log in, you can hear yourself through a microphone. Voicethread is a commenting tool. You can use it for commenting on anything. There is also a teaching voicethread website called ed voicethread.

           You can do a lot of things with a voicethread like comment with any of the following: a phone, a microphone, a webcam(if you use a webcam then for internet safety disguise yourself), or plain old boring typing. You can also make a picture of yourself when to go with a comment(you shouldn't use a picture of yourself or anyone you know for internet saftey reasons), if you have an internet name than I would consider using pic.s from a website for your identity(picture). There is also a bunch of other stuff you can do in a comment.

When you sign up you can also make a voicethread by clicking create in the top left corner of the voicethread homepage. When you make a voicethread you can use almost every file you could save a picture as(jpeg, gif, art, bitmap). When and if  you want make a voicethread public you have to think about one main thing: is this a topic lots of people would comment on? Because I was scrolling through some public voicethreads and most of them had 10 to 11 comments tops. So if you want people to comment on your voicethread a lot then try to make it an interesting topic.

This is most of the things you will be seeing on voicethread.
