Notes:
- Voicethread is a wonderful way to share student work!
- the 'About' tab on the website has excellent instructions for how to use Voicethread, as well as many examples
- you will need to set up an account in order to use Voicethread; after setting it up, any Voicethread you create will be saved and accessible from this account
- teachers can set up accounts for students (this allows students to comment from school or from home), or use multiple identities in the teacher account (this limits students to commenting at school) - accounts could also be set up by a parent, allowing them to add comments from home
