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 think it's seriously cool, and am already thinking of all kinds of ways I could use it. For example, lines of poetry, with words highlighted and explanations of terms... You could make a kind of interactive powerpoint presentation.

Thanks for the heads up about the sound quality. Probably it's a combination of both factors: I do have quite a soft voice, but also may need to tweak my mic settings.
