VoiceThread calls itself an online media album.  The idea being that you can upload an image, document or a video and then add a commentary (audio or text) to the item you have uploaded.  But it doesn’t end there.  Other users can register and add their own thoughts and comments too.

It looks fantastic as a simple resource for thoughts aroung pretty much anything!  I talked earlier about asking “What’s in a picture?” and this would be a great extension of that activity.  Instead of, or, probably better, as well as, discussing the image children could go to our audio area and record what they are thinking.  I know there will be many other ways you can use this and I look forward to working it out!  Have a look at it and see if you agree with John Sutton about this one.
