CDB Barkley: and http://voicethread.com/share/8863/
CDB Barkley: it already is
CDB Barkley: its okay
Caspar Lefevre: This must seem incredibly obvious, but wouldn't one obvious usage be to put a lecture into voicethread format and then ask students to comment on a certain number of slides, or otherwise interact with the lecture materials on voicethread?
Caspar Lefevre: amazing
Steve47 Tenk: VT looks to be a better solution over something like an enhanced podcast (like content created with SnapKast)
CDB Barkley: For those not here you can acces on the web at http://web.nmc.org/files/2008-fall-symposium/voicethread-posters/

Chimera Cosmos: you can type your comments
Chimera Cosmos: and draw on the slides
Helena Perlmann: the video adds in voicethreads are particularly nice. it really comes alive
Lyr Lobo: i re-recorded 4 times before I decided it would do... it took 3 min to do it and change my mind 4 times...that's ok *grins*
Lyr Lobo: then I noticed I hadn't heard the question *laughs* but that didn't stop me, and I'm shy too *laughs*
Bron Bloxome: If you pay for the pro version people can upload sound files prepared earlier and perhaps more practiced
Helena Perlmann: it is linear though, can you reorder the comments
Helena Perlmann: ?
Bron Bloxome: I had to do this because my fan nois eon my laptop came through on the thread recorded online
Lyr Lobo: (on Bron's internet culture map... I did better on the Bruegel painting the Harvesters) *grins*
Helena Perlmann: great point- about the subjectivity of art!
Lyr Lobo: very true, Ilene...fresh, original and natural
Chimera Cosmos: The comments appear in order, and if you draw, it fades away gradually before the next comment starts.
