**VoiceThread** - As you probably know, VoiceThread allows you to annotate or text / audio comment on uploaded images, files, and videos. VoiceThread for Educators is a semi-closed community. You can pay for the option of creating students accounts or can create a generic educator account for free. This allows you to create unlimited VoiceThreads (as long as you don't exceed your storage limit) that anyone (you choose) in the Ed.Voicethread.com community can view and comment on. So what does this look like in practice? Get practical suggestions about using VoiceThread in the classroom [|here].
