Basics: Choose a presentation or set of pictures that you would like to narrate. Upload said presentation or group of pictures. Narrate each slide or add a written message to each slide. Share link or embed voicethread into a website.
Test Kitchen: I have used voicethread in many different ways in my classroom. It is a way to record a piece of text. This has been very useful for students who need directions or any text read to them. When I used this with short stories there were some interesting benefits. Every student could read it at their own pace. If they didn't want to have it read to them they had that as an option as well.
Classroom Applications:
Science-You could have a diagram or a series of diagrams and you could narrate an explanation with doodling feature. This is great for students who may need to see it more than once.
Math-You could create mini lessons as a voicethread. You can narrate the steps of a process and use the doodling feature to underline or highlight key parts.
Social Studies-You could use this a narrated timeline of events for a specific topic that you are teaching.
Language Arts-This an excellent way to read any passage aloud to students. You read and record it one time and then any student can access it at anytime to listen and read along.
Techy Tip-Voicethread, like most web applications, can be embedded into your googleapps website, blog, wiki, or moodle.
Note: If you want to have students create with voicethread they have to have their own account. Classroom accounts cost money.
