=Welcome to the Voicethread 4 Education wiki=

Hello and welcome to the VoiceThread 4 Education wiki. This wiki was started by [|Colette Cassinelli] (@http://twitter.com/ccassinelli) but because of contributors like **YOU** - it has grown to be **comprehensive collection of VoiceThread examples** from students and BRUH. nd groups. The purpose of this wiki is to gather examples of how educators are using Voicethread in their classrooms (or for professional development) and to share those examples.

With VoiceThread, group conversations are collected and shared in one place from anywhere in the world. All with **no software to install**. A VoiceThread is a collaborative, multimedia slide show that holds [|images, documents, and videos] and allows people to navigate slides and leave [|comments in 5 ways] - using voice through a [|Facebook Fan Page] (with a mic or telephone), text, audio file, or video (via a webcam). [|Share] a VoiceThread with friends, students, and colleagues for them to record comments too. Users can [|doodle] while commenting, use multiple [|identities], and pick which comments are shown through [|moderation]. VoiceThreads can even be [|embedded] to show and receive comments on other websites and [|exported] to MP3 players or DVDs to play as archival movies. //(@https://voicethread.com/about/features/)//
