A VoiceThread is an online media album that can hold essentially any type of media (images, documents and videos) and allows people to make comments in 5 different ways - using voice (with a microphone or telephone), text, audio file, or video (with a webcam) - and share them with anyone they wish. A VoiceThread allows group conversations to be collected and shared in one place, from anywhere in the world.

A hands-on activity using creative tools to produce media which will be posted to the blog. Our suggested theme of ‘The Future’ will hopefully provide latitude and inspiration for engaging output. Blog comment on tools and potential applications welcomed.
