VoiceThread+Help

Getting Started with VoiceThread
VoiceThread's appeal is that we can create a graphically interesting and handy page for getting responses, both verbally and text, from participants. We'll use it in class for our initial introductions and for weighing in on various books and issues.

Optimum length of verbal messages is around 90 to 120 seconds so responses must be well-reasoned and honed to fit. Audio production quality is also vital, so an external mic for your laptop will make a big contribution. See the tutorials below for setting up your mic.
