Collaborative activities with Voicethread
Voicethread is a tool to make presentations to combine images, documents and videos. The chance to add comments to the different pages of the presentation in either text, audio or video format make it an excellent application for the development of collaborative work.
In the project Let’s give Breath to Earth!, led by four schools in Poland, Greece and the United Kingdom, we can see an example of their functionality. In this case, Voicethread has enabled children aged 5 to 7 to create a joint story through images, as well as share with their partners their ideas about what is behind each picture, using their different mother tongues. Some beautiful work, undoubtedly.
In addition, Voicethread supports PDF, Microsoft Word, Excel and PowerPoint files, and can even import images from Flickr and Facebook.
