VoiceThread

[intertext]

This is to test a new Web 2.0 tool called VoiceThread. For me, it has potential for my online courses, so I thought I'd try it out here. See what you think. You click on the facebox on the side to hear me speak. You can add comments right on it either audio or typed by clicking on the appropriate box; or, of course, you can comment on this post in the usual way, should you feel so inclined. Commenting on the voicethread would be nifty, though, because then I'd see how it works. I suppose you might have to sign up to comment - I don't know.

I'd try to respond but you have to sign in, and then I guess you have to have a microphone. Besides, you have a spiff accent and my crap LA nasality would probably break your speakers.

That was cool, though.

I haven't explored all the "invite friends" options - I think you can email people that you want to share as well. That would work for a class, for example.

Thanks for trying it out, though, and for commenting! I think it's very cool.

And there is a type comments option for those with no mike. They've thought of everything.

. . . everything except how to disguise your voice. I want to sound like Darth Vader.
